Tunitas Beach and Tunitas Creek. The cliffs here are 100' high. This is also where the farmer Alexander Gordon had a famous (or infamous) "chute" for sliding farm goods from the top of the cliffs to ships anchored in the rolling surf below.
Gordon's Chute was built in 1872 and
lasted until 1885, when a storm blew it away.
Here is a large detailed drawing of the chute. Note also, between the highway and the cliffs, the faint trace of a former railroad bed. This was the
Ocean Shore Railroad. The remains of a trestle can be found alongside Tunitas Creek Gulch, on the right.
