Shell Beach Bluff Trail, Pirate’s Cove, Cave Landing, Ontario Ridge Trail + SLO

This part of the coastline of Shell Beach is very scenic and exciting to explore. The views from Ontario Ridge of the ocean and residential area below are quite spectacular. Some areas of the trail going up and coming down the ridge are quite steep, up to 40 degrees, giving some significant workouts.

After hiking & exploring this area. I would join another hike at Johnson Ranch, at 5:30 pm, hosted by another group.
