Directions and Notes
From Hwy 1 turn toward the beach at Pier Avenue in Oceano.
Turn right into the Oceano Campground at park on the right by the Nature Center.
Guiton Trail is a leisurely walk around the fresh water lagoon.
Cross over the bridge on Pier Avenue to begin the hike.
The trail is shaded but lined with poison oak.
When you get to the road, head back down the west side of the lagoon.
The path back along the shoreline is less direct.
Duck Pond means you're almost back to the car.
Note: Oceano Memorial Park is south of Pier Avenue.
It circles the south end of the lagoon and is grassy with benches.
