| Description | As one of the few public gardens in the continental United States with direct ocean frontage, we offer everything from colorful displays to thunderous waves. The mild maritime climate makes us the gardens for all seasons, attracting gardeners and nature lovers alike. Manicured formal gardens, dense coastal pine forest, fern-covered creek canyons, diverse collections of rhododendrons and fuchsias, coastal bluffs overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean-all are found on this magnificent 47-acre site. Whale watchers can take shelter in the Cliff House to view winter and spring migrations. Bird watchers will delight in the one hundred fifty species of birds that live in or visit the Gardens. Gardeners will enjoy a heritage rose display, a heath and heather collection of national importance, and plants from Mediterranean climates around the world such as South Africa, Chile, New Zealand and Australia.
The Gardens are Dog Friendly, Handicapped Accessible, Picnickers are welcome, and has WI-Fi available on the Plaza.
There is a Retail Nursery stocked with rhododendrons, heathers, perennials and native plants, which is open year round. In addition, the Garden Store carries an excellent selection of gardening books, tools, seeds and shirts for souvenirs or gift giving.
