FUN HISTORIC HIKE WHILE IN ROCKPORT AREA
So glad we visited Halibut Point State Park. Site of a now-closed Quarry. The visitor center is not open every day, was closed the Tuesday; we visited, but a park worker told us the lighthouse we found there was used as a Coast Guard Site in the past. The trails are well-marked and the scenes are beautiful. We saw many types of birds and spent over ten minutes on our way out watching a deer off to the side of the trail! Fun trails, NO SWIMMING, but a lake in the park and many granite blocks, evidence of the past quarry use in the area.

Pleasant walk
We really enjoyed our walk here. You get a little woods, some quarry, and out to the ocean. The trail isn't long but there is beach/rocky areas you can explore further. I can't say I would have paid the $20 out of state parking fee for this, but it was great free activity for a nice day in the off season. I'm torn on how to rate this for that reason, for free it was a 5, for pay not so much.
