Wavecrest Trail

Coastside Land Trust logoWith sweeping views of the Pacific, it's no wonder this trail is a favorite for local dog walkers. The birding here is great too. In the winter, this is one of the most important nesting sites for raptors in the entire Bay Area, so bring your binoculars.

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Wavecrest. You can do an easy hike along the 0.3-mile Bird Trail, which runs along the north end of Wavecrest, or do a 1.5-mile (roundtrip) section of the California Coastal Trail that runs through the property.

• Length: 1.5 mile
• Difficulty: Easy
• Open to: Hikers, dogs on leash, equestrians, bicyclists
• Please remember to Leave Only Paw Prints™
