Limekiln State Park is a small area, located on the coast just south of Lucia. There is a beach, and two canyons, lush with redwoods and ferns. At the top of the camping area, the creek forks with Limekiln to the left and Hare Canyon the right. . It is really better in the spring, but a bit of exploration might whet your appetite to come back.
