| This drive can be wonderful. The stops certainly are.
Check out CalTrans for road closures. Also, the traffic can be a problem on weekends.
Though the trail is sometimes closed due
weather conditions such as strong winds the day the photo above was taken,
the trail to the beach at the base of the cliffs is short (1/2 mile).
Few tourists are willing to brave the trail with it's 400 foot change in
elevation. It is not recommended for small children and those fearing heights.
Views of the beach below are spectacular as are the ever changing views
of the cliffs to the north. This cliff face is well watered and lush in
vegetation but makes the trail somewhat slippery. The beach has dark colored
and common to this section of coast. The view of the cliffs is imposing
looking from the bottom up.
