The El Camino Del Mar Trail at Lands End in San Francisco, California is an easy 1.3 mile one-way trail that runs parallel to the California Coastal Trail and is lightly-trafficked.
This trail technically runs along El Camino Del Mar Rd for about half of its length, but it's a good trail to use to get back to the parking area after hiking the California Coastal Trail at Lands End.
The trailhead can be found in one of a few different places - the trailhead listed here is on the eastern side, but you can also pick up the trail at the Lands End Overlook parking area or the USS Francisco parking area.
To find the unpaved section of the trail, simply follow the road west - all the way to the dead end. You'll pass through a parking lot before finding a yellow gate at the end of the road.
Lookout Points: Along the northwestern side of the trail, you'll get views of the ocean from high up on the cliffs, but the eastern side is mostly just woods.

We share trails, hikes, and backpacking trips on the interwebs for the fun of it and put a ton of time into mapping and writing about new trails to publish each month.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes. We simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 😎 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account.
