WHALESHEAD BEACH STATE PARK
Whaleshead Beach is a beautiful cove with a rock formation that resembles a whaleshead including a blowhole that spouts during high tide! The park has picnic tables, firepits, restrooms, beach access, rock hunting, and shell collecting. Whaleshead Beach is also a historical site. Gold was mined at this site and some old abandoned mining equipment can be seen here. Go to the parking lot and head east around the stream. Follow the headlands south to the area where an old sluice box can be found. Rumrunners also landed illegal booze here during prohibition. Whaleshead Beach State Park is located on Hwy. 101 north at mile post 349.
