    Waddell Beach is one of the gateways to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It includes many trails.

    It is also the oldest of the California parks, whose primary purpose is to protect this remarkable ecosystem of California coastal rain forests. The Redwoods are the emblematic image of this park.

The original area of 15 increased over time to 73 square kilometers. It is part of the "Northern California Coastal Forests" ecoregion and is home to the largest contiguous stand of ancient redwoods south of San Francisco. The Big Basin has over 80 miles of hiking trails.
