This park features rugged cliffs, secluded sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and 1,347-foot Valencia Peak. Naturalists and backpackers enjoy the solitude and beauty found along the park’s trails. There are also mountain biking and equestrian trails. The best-known beach is Spooner’s Cove, across from the campground. The park’s name, "Mountain of Gold," comes from the golden wildflowers that bloom in spring. Wildlife includes black tailed deer and the black oystercatcher.
