Beautiful trail - not quite a loop but more of an out and back. If you go to the Shell Beach parking lot there's a basic bathroom (no soap or water) next to the trail head. if it's recently rained make sure you wear waterproof shoes! It can get REALLY squishy!!

Great Parking to start N or S (right or left) on the Kortum Trail. Winding and several branch off trail options, this path & view are peaceful, quiet, well traveled, and can go for miles!

I went 7 miles to the north and 3.5 miles to the south. Beautiful area to explore for the day - coastline views and various elevations with several beach access hikes.

Lovely hike along the coast on the cliffs. It’s pretty flat the whole time only one real up/down to a beach which though it’s a trail makes it a pretty accessible walk. Plenty of beach access points along the way if you want to head down to the water. Lovely either in the sun or when the fog rolls in

Good midpoint to park. You can go north towards goat rock (some ascent) or south towards Duncan Landing. Excellent trail and views.

Easy to park and walk this dirt trail with docks across the brush area to walk along the cliffs. Bring a chair and enjoy whale watching and solitude with the best views of the ocean.

Nice hike from wright's Beach to goat rock, but it was a little lack luster of a hike since mostly flat and a lot of hikers later in the day.

Great walking/hiking trails. Miles and miles of beautiful ocean views while you exercise. Especially beautiful when the wildflowers are in bloom. My perfect nirvana.

Limited space here. The walk along the bluffs requires warm clothes and a warm hat. The strong gusts of wind are unpleasant, however the beach is somewhat more sheltered. A good place for a long run.
