Charmlee Park in West Malibu...easy...overlooks the ocean, 4 miles or so

Charmlee Wilderness Park is 590 acres of the best of the Santa Monica Mountains Coastal Slope environment. The park includes picnic areas, eight miles of hiking trails, native plant displays, and a nature center.

Join us for an easy loop hike through rolling hills, shady oak trees, and have lunch at the rocky cabin ruins and take lots of photos of the shoreline from high cliffs above PCH.

(part of another of my hike double-headers...part 2 is rock scrambling at the end of Corral Canyon Road, from 3 to 6ish, followed by chow at the Corral Beach Cantina on PCH in Zuma))

Distance: around 4 miles with 200 feet maximum elevation gain

Restrooms and running water: yes

Parking fee: yes--$4

GPS Location: N 34.06117 W 118.87704
