This spectacular ocean shoreline is probably the most recognizable spot on the California coast. Artists, including Baumann, have memorialized Point Lobos in photographs, oils, watercolors, drawings, and prints. Today this location is known as the Point Lobos State Reserve and is considered the crown jewel in the California state park system.
