This great guidebook puts the Southern California Coast on the map as one of the world's top long distance walks. The route covers miles of fabulous Pacific Coastline, beachside towns and the lovely Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, a coastal state park. With spectacular sandy beaches, homes of many Hollywood stars and charming seaside towns, each day's walk is startlingly free from traffic. A few steps from the beach are lodging and good food. Includes how to plan, where to stay and eat, budgets, tides, maps, clear directions, public transportation. Thank you for another guidebook. I have all of them and I can hardly wait to do this walk. I love your sketches and the way you travel. Toni S. --Quote from a customer. Tyler E.
