- Hook
- A long driftwood beach where the San Andreas Fault runs into the sea
- More
- The San Andreas Fault makes landfall at Alder Creek before heading out to sea, and the beach's five miles of driftwood-piled sand catch everything the Pacific throws. Tundra swans winter on the park's wetlands — bring binoculars, not swimwear.
