SOBERANES POINT TRAILS
LENGTH AND TYPE: 2-mile loop
RATING: Easy
TRAIL CONDITION: Clear, poison oak, good for kids
HIGHLIGHTS: Roam the bluffs along one of California's most dramatic coastlines.
TO REACH THE TRAILHEAD:
The Soberanes Point Trails are accessible via Highway 1
turnouts 7 through 11. The trail description that follows starts on the west side of the
highway at turnout 7.
TRIP SUMMARY:
From turnout 7, the trail meanders south past uninhabited coves to-
ward Soberanes Point. Along the way, watch pelicans skim wave crests in formation,
peer down as surf surges into narrow inlets and coves, and maybe spot migrating
whales. Some spurs lead to spectacular overlooks, while others descend to the beach
for a barefoot stroll.
