Santa Margarita Island

A really awesome view

It's a small island, but peaceful, with pleasant views of water, birds and hills.

This is a sweet little island but to call it an island is almost an overstatement it's the little bump and the middle life some water but it's very beautiful to look at and it's in China camp and as and a stand it originally it was going to be developed but all of the landowners who lived around the water edge decided to buy it and reserve it as a natural habitat which is a wonderful thing to do but it still has a small little bridge and a way that I can walk around it and it's probably a nice little walk for people to do especially early in the morning or maybe at sunset.

Great quiet natural place for a hike. Santa Margarita is an open space, island preserve along Gallinas creek. A true hidden gem and not a waste of a hike!

This is a lovely hidden jewel. Quite, serene faint sounds of wind chimes, sea gulls squawking. The trail loop is short however it runs just feet away from the marsh/reeds. Jill and i sat on the bridge in quiet reflection. There's more of a path rather than a trail.
