The state completed its $14.5-million purchase of the Sea West Ranch, including a three-mile section of what is planned as the California Coastal Trail.
The 746-acre former cattle ranch between Cambria and Cayucos extends from California Highway 1 to the ocean. It includes three miles of shoreline, tidelands, coastal bluffs, rolling hills, a lake and abundant wildlife. The property also has one of the state's largest remaining coastal prairie grasslands.
