State Lands Surveys Hollister Ranch Tidelands
High-Tide Line Determination to Inform Beach-Access Plan
The California State Lands Commission is in the finishing stages of surveying the high-tide line along the Hollister Ranch’s eight-and-a-half mile beachfront. Started in early December, the survey aims to better define state-owned tidelands — shoreline below the mean high-tide line — as state agencies revisit a long mothballed 1982 public-access plan for Hollister Ranch beaches.
