Something different from the TOaks Hiking Group. I've been a bit warm out here in the Valley and want to cool off when I can. This is the perfect way to get exercise and stay cool!

A walk along the beach. Yes, seriously, a walk along the beach.

Distance: 6 to 8 mile cool, breezy, sand on the toes squishy hike north along Zuma beach and back.

Elevation Gain: 0 ft. Yes, you read that correctly. We're not going to climb anything today. It's kick back and glide next to the ocean while you're walking, talking, and having a cool great time.

What to Bring: bare feet, water, snack, camera, sunscreen, hat, frolicking good nature. Maybe wear a bathing suit under walking clothes if you decide to take a dip.

Since we're so close to the ocean it would be nice to go eat/drink at a reasonably priced restaurant a hop, skip and a jump from the parking lot.

Suggested Eatery afterward. Or open to other suggestions.

Corral Beach Cantina-a fun place.

There are a lot of cars and a lot of people down here most of the time. PLEASE READ THE ABOVE INFORMATION IN ITS ENTIRETY SO YOU CAN FIND THE GROUP.
