About White Point Hot Springs
A rare coastal hot spring emerging from volcanic rock at the base of ocean cliffs in White Point Nature Preserve. Once the site of a grand Japanese-owned bathhouse demolished during WWII internment, warm sulfurous water still seeps into tide pools along the rocky shore. A haunting reminder of history meeting geology.
