Coastal Trails
Coastal hikes are perfect when you want dramatic scenery without committing to big elevation gain. Expect mud, wind, and changing tides—bring a layer, check conditions, and enjoy the views.
What to bring
Rain shell, traction if it’s slick, and a small dry bag to keep essentials safe.
Quick safety note
Some beaches require timing around the tide—look up tide tables if your route passes headlands.
Trail etiquette
Stay on durable surfaces, pack out trash, and respect closures to protect wildlife and dunes.
