The park has 1.5 miles of beach for swimming, surfing,
windsurfing, surf fishing and beachcombing. The beach also has tide pools,
coastal caves and reefs for exploring. Giant sycamores shade the main
campgrounds. The park also features back-country hiking.
Nature walks and campfire programs are offered and a small visitor center has
interpretive displays. During the summer, children's programs are available.
The park was named after Leo Carrillo (1880-1961), actor, preservationist and
conservationist, served on the California Beach and Parks commission for
eighteen years, and was instrumental in the state's acquisition of the Hearst
property at San Simeon. He was related by blood and marriage to a long line of
distinguished original Californians. Leo's greatest fame came from his portrayal
of Pancho, the sidekick to Duncan Renaldo's Cisco Kid, an early 1950's TV
series.
