Outdoor enjoyment
It is outstanding for hikes and beaches and is 1.5 hours away. This large park is worth the drive! Don't miss the pictographs at Agawa Bay, or "Bathtub Island" at Katherine's Cove. One of our favorite swimming holes is the boat launch beach at Sinclair Cove. Day use passes only right now, and you may need to pre-book online here to save your spot:
