Secluded and well worth the stop off Hwy 101. The adventurous type can venture up the Northern bluffs over to Bowling Beach; check your tide tables for the best time to visit. Note there are stinging nettle plants along the trail - watch those bare legs! If you are coming Northbound, be careful swinging into the parking area; Southbound traffic has a blind hill on approach.

The first 'gulch' I have ever seen. There are some sexy trails by the state Beach, one of which leads to the famous Bowling Ball beach. Met some friendly dogs in the shaded parts of the trail. Also, was afraid a little as we were kind of alone there during sunset, on a weekday. Overall, this spot did worth for having a quick stop, and the tide canal is a real treat you will get after...

Beautiful spot, worth every second of the walk down and parking lot woes. Tiny spot to park but don't pass it up. VERY clean, be respectful and keep it that way. Killer sunset, driftwood for days. Hidden trail is much less crowded. Good for family or walking. love Loved it and will...
