Tuesday morning at Emma Wood State Beach forecast is clear to mostly sunny skies with excellent walking conditions that hover around high 60s°F to middle 70s°F.
I have planned a series of 4-5 hike/walk coastal bike path treks that include small “stepping out” excursions to the beach. The treks will be about 5-6 miles (out and back time) from Ventura to Carpinteria with each starting point commencing from the previously week’s return point each time. The initial trek starts in Ventura and progresses North toward Carpinteria.
Overall, the coastal walking and biking route from Ventura to Carpinteria spans roughly 16 miles one-way (32 miles round trip) along a scenic route hugging the Pacific Ocean. We can easily explore segments of this route.
The hikes will bring joyful/scenic coastal views of the vast, open horizon where the blue ocean meets the sky and allows listening to the steady rhythm of crashing waves and feeling a cool sea breeze. It brings a deep sense of peace and calm.
This walk will be about 5-6 miles each time.
The attendee limit of 10 is firm. The consecutive starting points is the previous rerunning point each time.
Please join me and enjoy beautiful nature as well as getting some exercise and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Directions: From US-101, exit 70A to California St and turn right onto California St. Then turn left onto Thompson Blvd and drive 0.7 miles. Turn left onto Main St. and drive about 0.8 miles and turn left onto Park Access Rd. to Ventura River Group Park if you have The Senior Golden Bear Pass.
(There is free public parking lot as you turn onto Main St. and drive 0.2miles and turn left into the W. Main Bike Path parking lot before crossing the bridge.)
