This area includes small acreages of coastal sage scrub,
coastal strand and coastal salt marsh. However, the prime interest is in the low
coastal bluff adjacent to the Mexican border where at least six rare plants are
found. They are Agave shawii (type
locality), Bergerocactus emoryi, Cordylanthus maritimus ssp. maritimus,
Dudleya attenuata, Ferocactus viridescens, and Opuntia parryi var.
serpentina.
Additionally, a number of disjunct desert plants are found here. A variety of habitats in this small area has resulted in
the sighting of a relatively high number of bird species, including several
unusual records. Integrity: The
area has been disturbed to a slight extent.
It is now an undeveloped State Park, with dirt roads leading to the beach
area. Use: Research,
educational, light recreation. July 1975
