The cliffs just north of the Tunitas Creek outflow were the site for Gordon's Chute, a ramp for sliding farm goods from the top of the cliffs to ships anchored in the rolling surf below. Gordon's Chute was built in 1872 and lasted until 1885, when a storm blew it away. Eyebolts for the chute can still be found in the cliff-face.
