Trip Report

...I like the variety on this hike....Dunes, forest, beach, creek....We had lunch overlooking the ocean .... Be careful where you go in the foredunes ....Snowy Plovers are nesting until September....Although the hike is only 4.5 miles it feels farther because 1/2 the trail is walking in dry sand....For summer, I thought there were relatively few people .....It was nice that most of the construction was finished on the drive there....Don't forget your senior pass for the trailhead...
