Explore the habitats surrounding Costanoa with a seasoned guide. One option is Franklin Point; a three and a half mile meander through wild willow, hooker's primrose, bush lupine, and sandy dunes. Enjoy spectacular views of Pigeon Point and Año Nuevo Island. Wear watertight shoes, as the trail can get mucky in a few spots. A second hike is Ohlone Ridge; an intermediate level 3-mile hike through the riparian corridor of Whitehouse Creek and then up through coastal scrub and Douglas Fir eco-systems. Then continue on up the hillside to rest at an amazing vista of the reefs and beaches south of Costanoa. See the Activities Calendar at check-in for specific times, routes and to sign up.

Overlooking the ocean, the Sanctuary Exploration Center is located in the heart of the Santa Cruz's famed beach area just steps away from the city's Municipal Wharf. The center features engaging interactive and multi-media exhibits to help visitors explore the sanctuary's remarkable marine environment, as well as their personal role in protecting this special underwater treasure.
Año Nuevo State Park – Elephant Seals!
Just 5 minutes south of Costanoa lies the Wildlife Jewel of the North Coast. The Park offers naturalist-guided walks between December 15 and March 31, which feature the seals in their natural habitat. To view the seals during this period, you must be on a Guided Walk. These popular three-mile walks, over rolling sand dunes, last about two and a half hours and are considered moderately strenuous. They operate daily from early morning to mid-afternoon rain or shine. Reservations can be made starting October 20th up to 56 days in advance, and must be made at least one day in advance. ReserveAmerica handles all reservations either by phone (800) 444-4445 or online (anonuevo.reserveamerica.com). Any unreserved tickets, no-shows or other available spots are sold directly at the park daily on a first-come first-served basis, starting at 8:30am. If you are unable to get reservations ahead of time, your best bet is to arrive at the park at 8:30am and put yourself or your group on a waitlist. If you arrive anytime after 1pm without a reservation your chances of getting on a tour are pretty low. Tickets cost $7 per person over 3 years of age. Parking rates $10 per car. From April-November you may visit the viewing area without reservations. Permits are issued April-November between the hours of 9am and 3pm at the Park Entrance.
