Peaceful and beautiful. We walked it from where we parked our car to the aquarium due to the parking being free farther up. We checked out an adorable group of harbor seals and could have sat and watched them all day!

We stayed in Pacific Grove and walked this trail to the aquarium and just because every day. We saw sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and a large pod of Russo Dolphins from this trail. It was beautiful and peaceful, albeit a bit chilly. Wear layers and don't forget your windbreaker.

Free! Considering the price of some area attractions, this is a delightful way to exercise and see the sights. Well maintained and marked trail. I was able to access right from my hotel property at the La Quinta Inn.
