Beautiful *windswept* coast
Gorgeous area to call home for a weekend. We stay in Woodside campground since Gerstle (in the more ideal location) is only for RVs and other self-contained live-in vehicles. It works out because the wind can get gnarly out there. Campsites were nice- with ample space. "Rustic" toilets did the job. Camp host was super nice and helpful. Camp makes a great homebase for tons of hikes- the waterfall at Phillip gulch is cool (note: there's an easy way and a hard way- ask the camp host). Although there's a (hopefully temporary) ban on abalone diving, it is worth noting that a chunk of the cove is protected and closed to any fishing. Bring plenty of warm layers and things to make hot drinks and keep it cozy!
