On the 15th January 2026, my parents and I went on a guided tour in Año Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County, CA for a day trip. We walked along Año Nuevo Point Trail, soaking in the scenery. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
The main part of Año Nuevo State Park only has one trail, Año Nuevo Point Trail. The scenery is amazing, and there were so many birds to see walking down the trail. Please note you do have to pay for the guided tour December through March during pupping season.
