For a more leisurely and less crowded stroll, consider coming before 11AM or after 2PM. Plan for at least a 1.5-hour visit if you wish to see the entirety of our 47-acre botanical garden which includes 4 miles (6.44 km) of trails. It is about a half-mile walk to the ocean and a half-mile walk from the ocean back to the main entrance. We recommend comfortable shoes and reusable water bottles to fully enjoy your visit. All tickets are non-refundable. Proceeds directly benefit our nonprofit botanical garden and its mission is to engage and enrich lives by displaying and conserving plants in harmony with our Northern California coastal ecosystems and to preserve public access to the coast.
