- Palmer's Point -

Palmer's Point is a great spot for three things: 1. Sunsets: This is one of the best places in the park to see a pure, unobstructed sunset from. It's also nice in that you can simply drive to its parking lot, get out of your car, and see the sunset. You don't have to walk anywhere if you don't want to.  2. Tide pooling.  Palmer's Point has the best tide pooling around, so I've been told.  Head down there on a day when the tide is extremely low and you'll be able search in places that water usually covers. Be advised, the trail down is evil. 3. Golfing: For a little fun, take a pitching wedge to the Palmer's Point Meadow for some three-flies-up. For added adventure, climb out the the very point of Palmer's with a driver and tee it up from the western-most point at Patrick's Point. Whatever you decide to do, Palmer's Point is a must see location. For added fun, take hikes there by way of the rim trail or long bike rides without using the short-cut through the Ranger Station. You'll end going to Palmers once.
