Trail Overview

This Trail begins just north of the La Hombres Solo trail and features slightly deeper sand than nearby routes, so proceed with caution and consider airing down your tires for better traction. The trail runs straight at first, then turns left and right leading to the water. The terrain near the water is generally firmer, but darker patches may become muddy during high tides or after storms, so keep an eye out for those areas. Along this stretch, you'll find several quiet fishing spots popular with local families, which double as excellent camping locations in the evening. The sunsets here are stunning, but the area is frequented by coyotes that show little fear of humans, so be vigilant if you have dogs.

Difficulty

This trail is easily navigable for any 2WD vehicle with good clearance. However, it's wise to be prepared to air down your tires, as sections of the trail feature 2 to 4 inches of sand. When traveling near the estuary, be cautious of terrain changes caused by king tides or storms, as these can create soft, muddy areas that may cause your tires to sink. Stay alert, and don't hesitate to walk a questionable section if the ground appears wet or unstable.
