Hiking
Battle Rock Wayside Park gets its name from the historic battle that occurred at Battle Rock, a basalt promontory located at the north end of the park. In 1851, the Qua-to-mah Native Americans fought against Captain William Tichenor’s men in this area. The park features picnic tables and a beautiful, secluded stretch of beach. Keep an eye out for pelicans diving into the water close to the nearby dock, which is a busy spot for commercial fishermen.
