Somerset Maugham

This is a great quick "getaway" in the city!

This is one of those hikes that make you really grateful to live in the Bay Area. The diversity of what you encounter on this trail - the wildflowers (jaw-dropping in May), the blue blue lagoon and its stark contrast with the sand dunes, then walking directly out to the beach to see the ocean - is a feast for your senses. Its really multiple hikes in one. It's also a really easy hike so it's good for the whole family! Highly recommend this.
