Every Trail Tells a Story
Kehoe Beach
Walk a flower-fringed path through a lively coastal watershed.
Ramble along a dune-backed beach that feels wild and endless.
Link south to Abbotts Lagoon for a longer surf-side adventure
More than a beeline to the beach, the trail crosses a watershed with many flowering plants, including yellow bush lupine and thickets of salmonberries with orange-reddish berries. It’s an inviting walk in any season, but especially in spring, when the meadows glow with wildflowers and the dunes hum with life.
And then the trail does what every beach-bound hiker loves most-it suddenly delivers you to the edge of the continent. Backed by tall dunes and dramatic bluffs, Kehoe Beach is a wild sweep of sand that seems to stretch forever. It’s a place for long contemplative strolls, for wave-watching, and for marveling at the raw Pacific energy that pounds this coast.
For the ambitious, Kehoe connects beautifully with Abbotts Lagoon: a one-way beach hike of 4.5 miles, a fine sampler of Point Reyes surf, sand, and solitude.
