5 miles. One way. Easy.
Park at Pillar Point Harbor on Mirada Road off Highway One in Miramar, or at Roosevelt Beach, Dunes Beach, Venice Beach, Francis Beach, or Bluff Top Coastal Park.
Information: Half Moon Bay Parks and Recreation, (650) 726-8297
To enjoy the Coastside at its best, take the Coastside Trail, which follows the scenic ocean bluffs between Pillar Point Harbor and Poplar Avenue in Half Moon Bay. From the trail, paths lead to sandy State Beaches.
Golden orange California poppies, bright yellow beach primroses and pale yellow bush lupines line the trail. White-crowned sparrows sing from the top of nearly every coyote bush. Brush rabbits nibble along the trail's edge. You may even see a long-legged, long-eared jack rabbit bound across your path.
Frenchman's Creek Bridge and the John Hernandez Bridge over Pilarcitos Creek off the best bird watching.
The Coastside Trail is especially popular with families.
