"This as a very short trail(1/4 to 1/2 mile). There are some nice views of the Gualala River Estuary and bluffs. You can access it through the breezeway on the left side of Trinks Cafe and across the back lawn."
"Very nice short simple walking trail with spectacular views of the Gualala River where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Timed correctly you can watch harbor seals swim and hunt and a beautiful bald eagle soaring overhead. Now here is the down side, finding parking along highway 1 can be challenging, especially on weekends. Best bet is grab a meal and do some shopping at the local spots and then walk behind the buildings to walk along the bluffs."
"It's 7 dollars per car to the State of CA to enter and park. From the parling lot, its a fairly level and easy walk for about a quarter of a mile with a few stairs along the way. There are two restrooms along the way. One closer to the parking lot and the other is closer to the beach. The beach itself is beautiful and is a great place for the kids to run and play. We love it there!!!"
"Really nice and interesting trail from Campground to Ocean beach."
"Quintessential Northern California views. Surely this is God's country."
