The Hiker's Guide provides maps of the Coastal Trail (CCT) and information for hikers and visitors to the California coast.

On the map at right, click on a county name or use the pull down menu below it. County by county, there are detailed maps--in sections of 3-4 miles--for the entire coast. Note that the counties with long coastlines have been divided in two. On some of the detailed maps, further information and photos are available by clicking the large, colored icons. (See Sonoma, Orange and L.A. West and South county maps.)

N.B. The Coastal Trail alignment shown on these maps has not been sanctioned by any agency of the State of California.

Most current browsers [e.g., Internet Explorer and NS Navigator versions 5 and later, FireFox, and Safari (Mac)] will work to display these features.

When complete -- a few years away, there will be information about public facilities and access to the coastline at 1000+ points, and through photos and data of the CCT, a view of our coastline’s every inch (well, perhaps). This is a project of Coastwalk volunteers and staff; click for more information.
