San Pedro Hike

"The views are majestic. The cool salty ocean breezes are refreshing and relaxing. Cool little trail to some tide pools down on a rocky shore at low tide. On a clear day you can make out Catalina Island on the horizon. Beautiful place to hike by the beach. There are some moderate hills, but mostly easy going."

"This is my go to place that my friend recommended to me years ago. It's still an overwhelming viewpoint and location if you go from the Eastside and you get to hike the cliffs. It's a great trail for beginners. The hike up the hill is great leg work. If you take it slow the hike up the hill is only about 7 to 9 minutes at a snail pace. If you push yourself, then take the hillside in minutes. Take your time and enjoy the scenery. Good luck hiking."

"This place was absolutely jaw dropping this evening as the sun went down! I do wonder why there's railing where there should t be and not where there should be? Def made for a great end of the week!!!"

"Nice set of well maintained trails. There's a nice mix of paths with varying intensities, so if you don't like one, just choose another. The neighborhood gate gives easy access to the flatter areas if you aren't up to hiking down from 25th. The weekend was pretty crowded but folks were nice & everyone shared the trails without issue. Like most of the hiking spots in the area, it can get uncomfortably hot in the middle of the day. Timing walks for sunrise & sunset give fantastic ocean views, plus the temperature is much milder. Caution: some of the connecting trails have a lot of cactus. Even sticking to the center of the trail 90% of the time, I got stuck in my calf & I had to brush some spines out of the dog's fluff. (We both probably picked it up when we pulled to the side of the trail to let others pass us.) So, as much as I love the paths, I think the dogs will stay at home next time."
