Event Details
Once the grand estate of timber baron Louis J. Simpson, Shore Acres State Parkcombines carefully tended gardens with a raw coastal landscape. Formal plantings include a tranquil Japanese garden with lily ponds and two rose gardens featuring American Rose Selections, with something in bloom nearly every day of the year. Just beyond the gardens, trails lead to a secluded ocean cove at Simpson Beach and along dramatic cliff edges, where sweeping views reveal rugged seascapes, crashing waves, and migrating whales from December through June.
