ENCINITAS, Calif.—A Canary Island date palm, 50 years old and 60 feet tall, towers over the main beach in Encinitas in north San Diego County.

The tree at Moonlight Beach, a California State Park, has been granted heritage status and is visible from State Route 1 and Encinitas Boulevard from under the green railroad bridge.
