Coastwalk shows you the Coastside one step at a time

The San Francisco Coastwalk is featured in Sunday’s Chronicle.  Coastwalks are three- to six- day hiking and camping trips along and near the California Coastal Trail. The walks feature insights from local experts, camping and sleeping in interesting locales, and dinners prepared by volunteers.

The San Mateo County summer Coastwalk is coming up August 1 to 6:

San Mateo is a mix of wild beaches, coastal towns, golf courses and marine reserves, with a bird sanctuary and working harbor. We stay in parks, private ranches and Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel. We will visit a mushroom farm, see elephant seals at Año Nuevo, check out tide pools, bird watch at Pescadero Marsh, and much more. This is a great family hike averaging 7 miles a day.
