More hikes the Park Service describes

Write-ups that name no single mapped trail, in the Service's words.

Hike the Estero Trail to Home Bay · 45-90 Minutes · no dogs
This trail through grassland and an abandoned Christmas tree farm to the head of Home Bay offers the opportunity to see the birds, bat rays, and leopard sharks that call these habitats home. Allow 25 minutes driving time from Bear Valley to the Estero Trailhead.
Hike to Alamere Falls · 6-8 Hours · no dogs
Alamere Falls is an incredible sight, as water cascades over a 40 foot cliff onto a beautiful sandy beach below. Getting there is no easy trek—a 13 mile minimum roundtrip hike is required, parking fills up early and you must time your visit to the falls with low tide. The best thing you can do to guarantee a safe, fun visit to the falls is to be prepared! Allow 10 minutes drive time from Bear Valley to the Five Brooks Trailhead and 35 minutes to the Palomarin Trailhead.
Hike to Miller Point · 4-6 Hours · no dogs
Meander along a creek through Douglas fir forest to arrive at a beautiful stretch of coastline deep within the Phillip Burton Wilderness. This trail begins at the Bear Valley Trailhead, at the south end of the Bear Valley Parking Lot.
Hike to Sculptured Beach · 3-5 Hours · no dogs
An easy to moderate walk on the beach or through coastal scrub and grassland offers some breath-taking ocean views and leads to a rocky shoreline where one can look for intertidal organisms when the tide is very low. Allow 15 to 20 minutes driving time from Bear Valley to the closest trailheads to Sculptured Beach.
Hike to Secret Beach and Skylight Cave · 3-4 Hours · no dogs
Skylight Cave is a sea cave with a collapsed ceiling at the north end of Secret Beach, which is located within the Phillip Burton Wilderness along the eastern shore of Drakes Bay. Even though Skylight Cave is only 2.5 miles (3.8 km) from the closest parking lot at Limantour Beach, it is usually only safe to visit at tides that measure -1 (negative one) foot or lower. The best thing you can do to guarantee a safe, fun visit to Secret Beach and Skylight Cave is to be prepared!

About these trails

The lines are the National Park Service's public trails layer, the trailheads and the waterfalls, views, peaks and historic places along them the Service's public points of interest, read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end. The write-ups are the Service's own "things to do" text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the park's own site before you go.
