Bluff Top Trail

From Walk On Beach, the three-mile-long (one way) Bluff Top trail provides views of offshore rocks and white sandy beaches, the sound of crashing surf and barking sea lions, and the invigorating feel of brisk sea air. It leads north to Gualala Point Regional Park, where the Gualala River empties into the Pacific Ocean.
