California Is Lovely because of Leo
Well, it might not all be down to Leo, but Leo Carrillo was a famous conservationist in California and spent nearly 20 years serving on the California Beach and Parks commission. He was instrumental in the creation of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and the state acquisition of Hearst Castle at San Simeon.
The state was so grateful for his contribution that they need a beach after him, the Leo Carrillo State Park. In a strange twist of fate, this is one of the most popular beaches for film shoots in the United States because of its weather and dramatic cliff and rock formations.
