Trail Overview
This route provides easy access for all types of vehicles from Highway One to the Coastal Trail. To embark on this route, locate the road adjacent to the surf shop near the intersection of Highway One and the road leading to the observatory. As you head south for approximately one mile, you'll notice the washboard surface of the road smoothening out, indicating your departure from the town outskirts and the beginning of a journey through farmlands and ranches. Upon reaching the fork where the coastal route intersects, take the right turn onto Santo Tomas to the San Vicente trail. After a short distance, you will arrive at a church located on the beach, just a few hundred yards ahead. From there, you have the option to explore the coastal route in either the north or south direction, which offers a multitude of camping sites and excellent fishing opportunities. If you require information about the nearest surfing spot, you can make a stop at the surf shop for detailed guidance.
