Shi Shi Beach and Point of the Arches — Friday, Jul. 18, 2025

The trail was MUDDY. There are some “trails” to get around the mud but they are not super convenient. Other than that the trail was gorgeous. It’s about 2 miles to the beach and then 2 miles walking along the ocean to the Point of Arches. I got to the beach at low tide so I got to see lots of starfish and anemone. There were other people but everyone was so spread out that it didn’t feel like others were around. I hiked about 1.25 along the beach before an old injury flared and I had to turn around, so I didn’t make it to the Point of Arches but could see it across the water and it was really cool.
