Twin Harbors State Park is a 172-acre camping park on the Pacific coast, four miles south of Westhaven. The area allows opportunities for nature study and seaside activity along the ocean shore, and the chance to lie in the sand and soak up the sun in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Beach activities predominate, including kite flying, surf fishing, and beachcombing.
Don't be fooled by inaccurate maps! Twin Harbors is a two-sided park with camping available in both parts. There are traditional camping areas on the east side of SR 105, and the west side has the beach and more camping, including yurts. Take the opportunity to visit the Shifting Sands Nature Trails, where there are several interpretive signs that showcase the ecology of this area.
History: During the 1930s, the park was a military training ground. The last remaining barracks were removed in 1977.
Park hours:
Summer: 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Winter: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The park is open year-round for camping and day use, with a partial campground closure from Nov. 1 through June 15.
