Mario Larsen+FollowLobos Coast Magic Trail7.4 miles of coastal wonder near Carmel—2h57m of rugged beauty. Trek through pine-clad hills, then dip to shores where tide pools glimmer, and waves kiss rocky beaches. Spot harbor seals sunbathing, sea lions frolicking, and otters dancing in kelp—birdwatchers, rejoice too. Best in early fall (Sept), when fog fades for crisp, golden views. No dogs allowed—park on Hwy 1 if busy (plan ahead!). Rest stops & scenic overlooks keep you fueled, with gems like Whale Watcher’s Cove and Seal Point waiting to wow. Nature’s masterpiece, just a trail away. #Outdoor #Hiking #CarmelCoastHikes #CoastalWildlifeAdventures 300Share
