From the web page:
"Unique and undisturbed biological community supporting endangered bird species. Torrey pine forests occur naturally only here and on Santa Rosa Island, 175 miles to the northwest. High bluffs and sea cliffs are examples of geological processes."
There are a number of trails that go through the various stands of pines. The trails usually involve some elevation change, but are well maintained and you are on the coast, so it is usually a comfortable temperature. There are also paved trails that have little elevation change.
Free guided tours are available on the weekends.
