Description
This short trail does the job if you want to get to the beach in a hurry. From the Palomarin Trailhead parking area, take the Coast Trail - South for a few hundred feet. Once in tree cover, look for a path heading left/south towards the ocean. This Palomarin trail winds down the open bluffs and over sandy gullies to the water. Note: bikes are not allowed on this trail.
