Probably Leo’s footprint 🎥👟. ​​📌 Must-Knows:​​ ​​Park at "Los Trancos"​​ ($15 fee—worth every penny 💵). ​​Wear layers​​: Coastal winds bite 🧥💨. ​​Golden hour​​: Sunset paints cliffs gold 🌅✨. ​​💡 Hidden Perks:​​ ​​Tide pools​​: Crabs, starfish, anemones (low tide = nature’s aquarium 🦀). ​​Beach shacks​​: 1930s vibes + milkshakes (post-hike reward 🥤). 📍 ​​Crystal Cove State Park​​ Laguna’s wilder, quieter twin. #CaliforniaCoast #HiddenBeaches #FilmLocations #HikeAndChill #NoCrowds #LAEscapes
