- Hook
- A trestle-framed beach and wind-funneled pass with hot springs and peak trails inland
- More
- The wooden trestle over the beach carried the coast rail line in 1901 and still carries Amtrak; the pier below serves divers and anglers. Hike to the warm (not hot) Gaviota Hot Springs pools or up Gaviota Peak for the full Channel view — wind is the park's defining weather.
