CA State Parks-San Diego Coast District Office

County & State Offices

About

Overseeing 13 state parks in Point Loma, San Diego and beyond, the California State Parks San Diego Coast District Office at 4477 Pacific Highway administers a coastline portfolio stretching from Carlsbad State Beach to Border Field State Park at the southwestern tip of the continental United States. The district's stewardship includes Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, and the coastal bluffs managed in partnership with the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation, which funds interpretive programs and restoration work at the Point Loma headland. On-staff historians, archaeologists, curators, and museum technicians manage a cultural-resources collection spanning more than 13,000 years—from pre-contact shell middens to Spanish Colonial mission-era artifacts housed at district facilities. The Midway District office coordinates special-event permitting, campground reservation support, and volunteer-program administration for parks that collectively host hundreds of thousands of annual visitors along San Diego County's coastline. Habitat-restoration and trail-maintenance projects across the district's parklands draw on partnerships with conservation groups such as the San Diego Parks Foundation, which channels private funding into public-land improvement initiatives throughout the region. The most resource-intensive operations are multi-year cultural-landscape restoration plans that combine archaeological excavation, native-plant revegetation, and historically accurate structural rehabilitation at heritage sites like the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Old Town.
