Gorgeous trail with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. We went in summertime so different types of flowers were blooming and that was so beautiful to see. The trail was very easy and access to beach at various points. Park at Redondo beach. We came at noon time by which all the Marine layer was gone. It's always windy up here. There is a Ritz Carlton up here so you can catch a bite to eat. Saw some cute birds as well

Great views of the Pacific Ocean. The trail is on the cliff, so be sure to get a jacket regardless of the season.

Super nice Pacific Osean view! Nice beach and flower as well. Whole area is not very big, some area are only open for Golfer. Limited parking. There are 2 washroom available. Highly recommended.

My husband & I enjoyed a short bike ride from our hotel and down towards the coast. Beautiful views, but I was not prepared to ride the bike back up a steep hill if I dared to ride down the trail.

We went to the California Coastal Trail near the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay on a weekday, as parking on the weekends can be almost impossible. It is a leisurely one-hour round-trip walk from the Miramonte Point Road parking lot near the hotel, along the golf course to the beach and back. The view is beautiful. You can breeze in the ocean breeze, see the castle-looking Ritz-Carlton and Pillar Point, and golfers along the way. Just go out and enjoy!

This section of very popular scenic coastal trail going thru golf link. Parking is limited and usually full by 10 on weekends. It's very close to stairs beach access and the picturesque Ritz Carlton section of trail. If you don't want to get up early on weekends, then park on Redondo road (parking lot is uneven ground). From there, 5 minutes walk to the left takes you enter Ritz Carlton section of coastal trail. About 10 minutes walk to your left is a rough beach access.

This was a beautiful ocean area very clean there was stair access to the beach but no rinse off areas so keep that in mind when visiting great overlook as well as a picnic table with a great view for lunch all together would go back here.
