One of the ways we like to spend our mornings on the coast is to grab a cup of coffee and take a short drive south down the coast towards Bodega Bay to walk the Kortum Trail. The trail stretches nearly 4 miles atop the coastal bluffs from Goat Rock to Wright’s Beach with spectacular views along the way. We like to pick up the trail from the Shell Beach parking lot and walk north back towards Goat Rock where you can meander along the wooden plank-ways with the sea to your left and an outcropping of rocks to your right where I’m told that the wooly mammoths came to sharpen their tusks long ago.
You can learn more about the Kortum and see some spectacular photos here.
