Fabulous
A must see. Totally transforms your knowledge of the origins of the State of California. Plus, being an Orthodox Christian, it has very special significance.
Great Historical Site
In the 1800's, the Russians established an outpost here, their southernmost. They built a fort as the Spanish controlled southern CA. Because of COVID, check to see what activities are going on...
Beautiful walk
Beautiful stroll along coastal cliffs to this property. It is very well kept, had benches to sit at and enjoy the ocean view.
