San Onofre State Park
Then Gov. Ronald Reagan established San Onofre State Beach in 1971. It has become one of the five most-visited state parks in California, hosting swimmers, campers, yakers, birders, fishermen, off-duty Marines, bicyclists, sunbathers, and surfers. This southern California state park contains seven archaeological sites, including a Juaneño Indian village. Seven threatened or endangered species live within the park, and it protects significant portions of San Mateo Creek, The last relatively unspoiled watersheds in Southern California.
In establishing the state park at San Onofre, Reagan said, one of "the greatest legacies we can leave to future generations is the heritage of our land… But unless we can preserve and protect the unspoiled areas which God has given us, we will have nothing to leave them..."
