After the Seal Cove Inn, follow Cypress Avenue left onto Airport Blvd. Turn right on Marine Blvd.and go a short way to Beach Way. Follow the right side of the "T" and park across from the back entrance to the Marine Reserve. You'll see a little unmarked entrance area and you follow the path with the ocean on your left up to a Cypress grove until you reach a fence on the ocean side that faces the ocean.
There is another entrance to the Reserve. It's easier to find than the first access, but it's not as easy to get to the location for the ceremony. Instead of turning on Cypress Avenue, go 100 yards further and turn left on California Avenue. Proceed to the Reserve parking lot . After parking, as you face the Reserve Ranger Station there is a path back near California Avenue that goes over the creek. After crossing the creek proceed up the dirt path until you get to the top and the area for ceremonies is on the ocean side of the Cypress grove.
