Rules for inclusion

This is a list collecting California Coastal Peaks that reside from the Pacific Ocean shoreline in five air miles or less. They are usually highly scenic and unique in their botanical and geologic makeup. The list will also include Channel Island named peaks and highpoints. The crown jewel of the entire list is Cone Peak, towering at 5155 feet over the ocean at a distance of slightly under four air miles. I will divide the list into four sections. I will not include peaks that reside on military land. The list also includes peaks that I have no knowledge about outside of their place on the coast. Please tell me any info that may or may not affect a peaks inclusion on the list.

The four sections are:

1. Southern California= Mexico border to the northern boundary of San Luis Obispo
2. Channel Island
3. Central California= Monterey southern boundary to San Francisco County.
4. Northern Califonia= Marin County through Del Norte County

Updates

I will be continuely updating this list and appreciate any advice and peak mentions. I really want to make something out of this list. I would like it to be a major resource for all coastal peakbaggers. I especially want peak information in the northern counties sense that is a huge grey area for me. I have personally visited the peaks with asteriks.
