Muir Beach Trailhead — Attraction in Marin City

Muir beach to Tennessee valley trail loop is super beautiful with great scenery. We started at 9am and parking lot was almost vacant. We did the trail clockwise so the biggest incline was at the beginning. As other people said, we passed through a farm house and opened two gates, so wipes are necessary to have. After that there’s that steep incline. First we spent sometime at Tennessee beach and walked passed the rocks on the left side which were filled with great wavy colorful rocks! Unbelievable!

Overall difficulty is probably moderate, not a lot of steep inclines or descents. Some parts of the trail are more narrow than others and 2 people passing in opposite directions sometimes require close contact. Beautiful scenery and the beach is...
