It was rather foggy when I visited here, which I liked. The biome here, despite still being California, is a lot like Washington. Lush green forests, beautiful endless rocky oceans, and rich earth filled with life. Not dry and dusty like most of California (AKA desert). You get richer darker tones of brown earth, rather than light brittle dust.
I did see a few people show up to catch the sunset, but I wouldn't call this a high traffic tourist spot either. There are benches, which make for a nice picnicking spot, especially if you are there to catch a sunset or even sunrise. Because it was so misty when I was there... it almost felt like you were at the edge of the universe. The void of the ocean felt endless, but in a beautiful poetic way.
There is also a nice short hike to get an even better view of the ocean coast! But I would assume the sunset is the most beautiful at the top so no need to go down if that's all you're looking for.
BONUS: When I was heading back down the the road, I did see something huge and furry scurry down the forest. It was huge and I couldn't get any more details as it darted so quickly, so I would say it was most likely a bear. But who knows, being so close to Oregon, it might have even been bigfoot 👣🦍🤷🏽♂️
