Elk Reserve — Attraction in Sebastopol

The elk reserve is absolutely breathtaking, especially at dawn. Arriving just before sunrise, you’re greeted by a quiet stillness that blankets the entire landscape. As the sun slowly rises, a soft golden light washes over the fields, illuminating the gentle mist that lingers over the grass.

Recommended to try visiting on a sunny day. Don't forget to checkout the perfectly untouched small beaches en-route with the loud crash of the perfect...
