Nice walk through eucalyptus forest, along the cliffs and down to the beach. The part of the trail along Elings park looked bare and much of the trail was along the road. That part looks better for biking than hiking.

Very easy stroll. LOTS of dogs…since they can be off leash. The views of the ocean are just stunning. In fact, rather than walk the loop I just went up and back on the section that hugs the bluffs. Stunning views of the coastline and the Channel Island. I went 5/24/23 and wildflowers were so abundant and in full bloom. Parking was in residential neighborhood…probably gets a little crowded on weekends but I was there mid week so plenty of parking. Highly recommend for the views…not really much of a workout as it’s flat and short, but worth the views.

Very easy (flat) walk with spectacular views of the Channel Islands and down to Hendry’s Beach. Parasailers/gliders launch straight from this bluff. They are very impressive. There are lots of friendly and well behaved dogs off leash. It was not too muddy considering the recent rains.
