Isamu Noguchi’s final project transforms a former garbage disposal site into a 188-hectare sculptural landscape. Rent a bicycle to cover the grounds. The Sea Fountain’s main draw is its choreographed 25-meter water jets, which run from April through October, with evening illuminations during the warmer months.
