Ocean Trails is a private golf course on a bluff above the ocean. There is public access through 90 acres of restored coastal sage scrub around the golf course. We intended to make our visit quick, but got caught up in the birdsong and the plants and spent several hours. The terrain is moderately steep, but the pavement is scored to give golf carts (and wheelchairs) good traction. Not all of the trails are for pedestrians, so follow the signs. There are some hard-packed dirt trails at the edge of the bluff, and although we encountered a few rough spots, these trails are generally smooth and easy to travel.

Parking/Restrooms

The main entrance at Ocean Trails Drive has blue spaces and accessible restrooms in the clubhouse. We preferred the quieter entrance off La Rotunda, which also has blue spaces and excellent restrooms.
