    Tips

    September 18, 2023

    This trailhead leads to an overlook at the top of the wooden stairs that lead down to Shell Beach. Parking is free; however, the lot fills up during peak season, so arriving early in the day is best. This spot marks the middle point of the Coastal Kortum hiking trail, which connects Blind Beach to the north and Wright's Beach to the south, paralleling the beach more closely than the highway in this area.
