The views are breathtaking, the trails are well maintained, and once you reach the top you'll see the Pacifica Ocean on one side and the amazing views along the Pennisula. Great hike with lots of interesting sights!

Devil's Slide Trail

Reviewed By jonathancchan - New York City, United States

A beautiful trail for a hike, walk, or bike ride during any season. Great views of the ocean and sunset. Opportunities for bird watching. Lots of great informative and educational signs along the way. The entire trail is paved and mostly flat with restrooms on both ends.

Small beach, big waves and rip currents, no lifeguard. Some surfers. People fishing. Dogs allowed on beach. Not much sand left at high tide. Gorgeous sunset views.

Mori Point

Reviewed By romanw871 - Redwood City, United States

Very nice hike to Mori Point, I would rate it medium due to some elevation gain. For the last part - You can choose to climb steps or use switch backs, switch backs represent longer distance, but more gradual elevation gain. On a clear day you will get nice views from the top. During the whale migration period - this is a good spot to watch them. There is variety of other trails in the area as well. We usually start close to the Municipal Pier, there are a few parking lots, on busy days you can usually find some on street parking in the adjacent area or close to the golf course. Trail is pet friendly- dogs on leash.

This is a lovely area to stay, stop for a meal or just to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. A great non-pretentious area.
