    Road cycling

    Sand City, California, a small city, is home to the scenic Sand City Beach. Once an industrial area, the dunes west of Highway 1 are now protected as part of the Eolian Dunes Preserve. The Sand City Beach Trail runs through the dunes, offering access to trails for hiking, biking, and leash pets. Sand City Beach is a top spot for beachcombing, especially for finding colorful sea glass, though walking barefoot is risky due to sharp edges.
