Where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific, Point Mugu protects 70 miles of hiking trails through chaparral-covered mountains and 5 miles of pristine coastline. Sycamore Canyon features a riparian woodland, while Boney Mountain offers challenging ridge hikes with panoramic ocean views. Mugu Rock, a distinctive 266-foot volcanic outcrop, towers over PCH. The park connects to a vast network of trails in the Santa Monica Mountains. Spring wildflowers carpet the hillsides. Thornhill Broome Beach provides camping steps from the surf.
