WAVECREST CALIFORNIA COASTAL TRAIL

The beautiful blufftops at Wavecrest are popular for hiking and biking, visiting the beach

and more, but the informal paths and spots where people park and scramble down to

the beach are just not safe or usable for many visitors. These informal trails also

harm the wildlife habitat and cause the bluffs to erode much faster.

Coastside Land Trust has been working hard to plan and raise the funds for the

Wavecrest Coastal Trail Project to make access safe and great for all visitors and the environment.

This project includes compacted gravel trails to fill the gap in the California Coastal Trail between

Poplar Beach and Redondo Beach, stairs from the blufftops down to Redondo Beach,

and safer – but still free – gravel parking areas with bathrooms and drinking water.

Keep your eye out for updates on this project as we get closer to construction in Summer 2025. Or reach out to us at info@coastsidelandtrust.org with questions.
