The Bean Hollow Beach walk is easy with little elevation. Then, there are a few stairs along the sandy path.
Of course, each bridge is an occasion to have an overlook at the tide pools and the rocky shore.
This stroll is the occasion to meet some of the sea share fauna: birds and seals. As well, in many places in California, there is a bird rock and there is a seal rock.
Even with no fauna in sight, you can still relish the impressive profiles of devastated rocks, experience the various bridges and enjoy the flora. Besides, the hottentot-fig is everywhere, and while it is not a native Californian species, it is still beautiful when in full bloom.
The official trails ends at Bean Hollow State Beach. Further, this is a large U-shaped sand beach that offer ample space to run and play, if you feel so. And, if you came with a four legged friend, it is the opportunity to exercise these legs.
