Walk Overview

Join us for a peaceful walk along the beautiful shores of Pomponio State Beach, where the ocean stretches out on one side and dramatic cliffs rise on the other. This out-and-back beach walk offers a unique experience as we walk directly on the sand.

Since the terrain is sandy, we recommend walking barefoot for comfort and connection with nature. Please bring your shoes along in case you prefer to wear them at any point.

After our 3-mile round-trip walk, we’ll return to the gathering location and enjoy some relaxed time together by the ocean (if you’d like to stay longer). You’re warmly invited to bring tea, snacks, lunch, drinks, a beach mat, towel, or even a beach tent (keep them in your car until we return from the hike). You’re welcome to bring games, volleyball, frisbee, or anything else you’d enjoy.

Dogs are not permitted at Pomponio State Beach.

Bonfires are not allowed, including portable fire pits or open flames of any kind.

Be Prepared

• For your comfort and safety, we recommend wearing pants and long-sleeved clothing to help protect against sun exposure and potential insect bites. Don’t forget sunscreen and/or a hat for added sun protection.
• We also suggest bringing at least 1.5 liters of water, snacks or light refreshments, and of course, a positive attitude!

Parking

• Parking is available at the beach for $8 (cash only). Since space is limited, carpooling is highly encouraged.
• Portable restrooms are available at the parking area.
