- 'The greatest meeting of land and water in the world' — cypress groves, sea otters, and Whalers Cove
- More
- Landscape painter Francis McComas called it 'the greatest meeting of land and water in the world,' and the reserve model itself was pioneered here in 1933. Whalers Cabin (1851) survives from Chinese and Portuguese fishing eras; reservations now manage the crowds — book, then walk Cypress Grove at first light.
