About This Trail

Imported description

The Fiscalini Ranch Preserve has two parallel trails, one along the upper edge and the other along the bluffs. Both offer amazing ocean views. The trails are mostly boardwalks. It is ADA accessible and leashed dogs are allowed. There are several smaller trails in the area. The trail goes above the ocean. There is an abundance of flowers in the spring. There are benches along the path. Each bench is an unique piece of art and offers a view of the ocean. You can do both trails in 2 miles if you are 1 mile out. The paths are used by locals. Shamel Park is a nice county park with a swimming pool and beach access. The beach is not sand but pebbles. You can picnic here before or after your walk.
