Situated along the rugged Mendocino County coastline just north of the town of Point Arena the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands are a unique and spectacular area that includes access to 12 coastal miles of undeveloped federal and state-managed public lands, coastal bluffs, the estuary of the Garcia River, sandy beaches and dunes, and adjacent small islands accessible during low tide.<\/p>\n<p>The diverse habitats found on this coastline provide a critical refuge for a number of threatened and endangered species including the Point Arena mountain beaver, the western snowy plover, Behren&#8217;s silverspot butterfly and California red-legged frog.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to experience the spectacular landscape of the Point Arena-Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument. The area offers outstanding hiking, wildlife viewing, bird watching, fishing, and public access to the Mendocino Coast.\u00a0 This is a great day for all hikers!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blm.gov\/pgdata\/etc\/medialib\/blm\/ca\/images\/caso\/discoverthecoast.Par.89335.Image.375.211.1.gif\" width=\"375\" height=\"211\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Point Arena-Stornetta Coastline &amp; Lighthouse<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blm.gov\/pgdata\/etc\/medialib\/blm\/ca\/pdf\/coastal_monument.Par.75600.File.dat\/PointArenaPDFMarch52014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BLM Boundary Map<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 11, 2014, President Obama used his authority granted to him by the 1906 Antiquities Act to designate the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands as a National Monument.\u00a0 At the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[382],"tags":[620],"class_list":["post-14517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advocacy","tag-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
