PRIVACY: The famous Hollister Ranch gatehouse; where owners and their guests check in with 24-hour security. The gatehouse is the only vehicle entry point into Hollister Ranch. There is no public access.

BEACHES:  Beyond the gatehouse lies the most beautiful stretch of California coast...really!  Hollister Ranch owners have access to 8 1/2 miles of private beach.
BEACHES:  All of Hollister Ranch's beaches are safe and fun for families to enjoy.  Long walks, jogs, or horseback riding are all enjoyable experiences on the Ranch coastline. (above, sand art with bamboo sticks)

SURF:  Hollister Ranch is famous for beautiful, perfect waves.  Offshore winds make Ranch surfing exciting! Water temperature is cold in the winter, with warmer temperatures in the summer.
LAND:  Each canyon at Hollister Ranch is unique.  Though most of the canyon roads are dirt or shale, the major ones are paved. Most front parcels are flat to rolling hills, mid-range parcels are rolling hills, and back parcels tend to be rugged or hilly terrain-providing exceptional views of the ocean, Channel Islands, and the Ranch. Many canyons have creeks and some even have a waterfall.
HORSES:  100+ miles of riding trails, 8+ miles of beach, and yearly roundups with the cowboys make Hollister Ranch a Western experience!  Above, the Hollister Ranch cowboy's stock of horses. There is a horse boarding facility on the Ranch.  (more horse boarding photos here)
RANCHING:  From time to time Ranch cowboys heard their cattle along the beach, taking the most direct route. The Hollister Ranch is a full-time cattle co-op.
HOEDOWN:  Bulito Beach or "Ranch House Point".  This beach and cabaña (also below) are home to the summer annual, community Hollister Ranch Hoedown.  Hundreds of owners gather each year to enjoy the live music, gourmet food, art show, and games for the entire family.
CABANA:  3 Beach cabañas with BBQ cooking facilities, sinks, showers, and bathrooms for use by Ranch owners and guests along the stretch of Hollister Ranch beach common area. Stairway access to the beach.

FISHING: Halibut surf fishing at San Augustine shore. A 23" catch! There is abundant marine life along the Ranch coastline, from various fish, crabs, mussels, seals, dolphins, and sea otters. 

MOUNTAIN BIKING: Mountain biking on quiet back country canyon roads—pure fun!  (above, Agua Canyon near Parcel 80)
