Nice hike, good elevation. Somewhat crowded. No shade so good for cooler days
Beautiful trek. Not too challenging. Dog got ticks though.
Bun puncher!
Loved this trail
Absolutely loved this trail! We parked closer to the hostel and visitor center since beach parking was full, and did the loop heading east first—would definitely recommend this way if hiking after noon, given going around the back blocks the sun on the ascent. Then on the descent, you purely get to enjoy the sunset and coastal view, instead of constantly looking behind you. Checked out the battery gun sites and added an extra 0.8 miles at the end by walking south of the lagoon. Amazing!
Very scenic - beautiful
Too many people because it was such a beautiful day. Very satisfying hike :)

reviewed Coastal Trail, Miwok Trail, and Bonita Lighthouse LoopJanuary 17, 2021Nice trail but there were way too many people on a weekend. Some people didn’t even adhere to the mask rules. There were also a lot of bikers on the trail. Weather was nice and feels like Spring! Bring lots of water and sunblock as there is no shade.
reviewed Coastal Trail, Miwok Trail, and Bonita Lighthouse LoopJanuary 17, 2021Amazing trail with outstanding views of the ocean, the coast, SF and beyond. Went on a clear day in January, early morning with the sun glittering on the water. You cross over Rodeo Lagoon and ascend to the ridge. The path is wide and popular with bikers--be super alert because they come whizzing down fast and there are some blind curves. When you get to the top of the ridge suddenly you can see the ocean and the bay and it's a spectacular moment. The view is even more commanding up on Hill 88, where there are ruins from the old embattlements. Graffiti artists have been up there and done some beautiful work. You have the ocean and the bay for company as you descend to Rodeo Beach. Then you climb up and over to Point Bonita. Poles recommended. Unfortunately the tunnel to the actual lighthouse was closed, but it's still very pretty spot, with great views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Narcissus were in full bloom and scenting the air. Took us three hours, 45 mins.
Nice wide path, great views of Sausalito and Tiburon. Seeing the tip of the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks is pretty cool. Besides the initial climb, you go down first and then up coming back.
This hike has some stellar views of the ocean, Marin, and, at times, the SF skyline! The trail is well maintained so easy on the feet. Bring plenty of water since there is little shade and a lot of uphill. At the trailhead, there’s parking for about 10 cars, so if you go later than 9 am you might have trouble finding a spot
Such a beautiful trail! Loved the views and the hike was mostly paved and easy to walk on. There were no views on the downhill section though
The latter (downhill) portion was definitely not as great as the first half but still had a good time.
Great multi use trail. Very wide. Lots of dogs which are not permitted on the signs. Not sure what that’s about. Not my favorite type of hike but it was a great workout!
