Oswald West State Park

I am not a nature dude, but Oswald West State Park is accessible for even us urban infused people. It is gorgeous, well planned and groomed for people of all walks of life. All parks should be this cool and egalitarian, bringing nature to everyone. I was able to go everywhere and anywhere, even with a torn meniscus! The trails are magical and the beaches transcendent. Summer would be a zoo, but late October is just perfect, the most overused word of the 21st Century. Yet, in this case, the experience was actually perfect.

classic spot, friendly for dogs, nice bay, many surfers.

Trails are clean, beautiful, and easily accessible!! The beach is amazing!

The hike down from the road is fairly easy. The view is very worth it.

Fun little nature walk through the trees to reach a great beach. Lots of surfers there on the day of our visit made it even more entertaining.
