Harmony Headlands State Park is a state park of California, USA, preserving an undeveloped parcel of Pacific coast. It is located in San Luis Obispo County on Highway 1 between the towns of Cayucos and Harmony. The 748-acre (303 ha) park was established in 2003.[1] However bureaucratic difficulties delayed opening the park to the public until November 2008. The Cayucos Land Conservancy helped facilitate and fund the park's development.[2]

Harmony Headlands State Park is open for day-use only. Amenities are limited to a small parking area, portable toilet, and a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) trail. The trail leads through a marine terrace grassland with views of the Pacific Ocean. Volunteers provide assistance and interpretation in the otherwise unstaffed park.[3]
