Great hike - walk up the stairs at the end of sharp Park trail and see fabulous views. If you are lucky it will be whale season, pack a picnic and enjoy!
The golf course at Sharp Park (along the ocean) was designed by the preeminent architect Alister MacKenzie, who also designed Augusta National - the course is also home to the Gartner Snake and California Red-Legged Frog so the environmental practices are good - however the fairways and greens are a bit dumpy. :)
