Buck Gully Preserve and Corona Beach walk (level 2)

We are doing two different hikes together. First one is Buck Gully Preserve, followed by Corona Beach Walk.

Buck Gully is a natural coastal canyon that opened to the public in 2012 with the installation of four bridges to provide safe public access. The bridges allow exploration of the entire Buck Gully Reserve, and also provide unique vantages and viewing platforms from which to pause and observe the abundant life in and around the stream that runs through the gully year-round.

We will start hiking from the trailhead along the Buck Gully Trail to the end and come back the same way.

Distance- 5 miles
Elevation Gain - 500 ft

After the hike, we will continue to the Corona Del Mar Main Beach. Park at 2900 Ocean Boulevard.
We will walk a 3-mile loop including main beach, little Corona Beach stairs and ramps, Newport Jetty, Pirates Cove, and China Cove.
