Each turn of the page is as if you are
stepping back in time. Venture with us and experience the full
wonderment of an untamed and unexplored region of California.
Witness the natural beauty of her coastline, the distant islands on
the western horizon, the early explorations of Cabrillo, Vizcaíno
and Portolá. Visit the establishment of one of just four Presidios
in Alta California, the 10th el Camino Real Mission overlooking the
channel and later, the newly settled ranchers, land-owners and
industrialists who collectively exclaimed to all, the splendor
that awaits for those willing to journey, work and live in
'Paraiso en el Mar' - Paradise by the Sea.
