Views of the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse – the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast currently nearing completion of an extensive restoration – are even more majestic from Cloverdale Bluffs, now part of the state park’s spectacular coastline following a property donation from Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). This key addition more than triples the park’s footprint and helps preserve the natural beauty of the San Mateo Coast. The acquisition also enables an extension of the California Coastal Trail through 1.5 miles of coastline in the park.
“POST is proud to be a part of State Parks Forward,” said Gordon Clark, president of Peninsula Open Space Trust. “We’re excited to once again work closely with State Parks to make more lands accessible to Californians for generations to come. This type of partnership between public agencies and private organizations is vital to maintaining our beautiful, productive and essential open spaces.”
