Mile Rock Beach

This rocky strip of sand is the ideal spot for active beach-goers who are quickly bored by sunbathing. Hike there from Lands End along the half-mile Coastal Trail, which is bordered by Monterey Cypress trees. From the bottom of the trail, a stairway of more than 100 wooden steps leads down to the beach. Above the beach is the Lands End Labyrinth, a small rock labyrinth with stunning views of the bridge. Below the rocky bluffs between Point Lobos and Lands End there are three shipwrecks, exposed at low tides, just waiting to be explored.
