Bluff Trail

Bluff Trail in Montaña de Oro State Park offers a picturesque coastal experience in San Luis Obispo County, preserving 8,000 acres between Avila Beach and Morro Bay. The 2.1-mile trail is ideal for hikers, bikers, and wheelchair users, with side trails offering outings ranging from one to five miles. You'll encounter tide pools, beaches, rock islands, and natural bridges along the stunning shoreline, passing highlights like Corallina Cove, Quarry Cove, and Grotto Rock.

The trail starts north at a parking area on Pecho Valley Road near the visitor center and Valencia Peak trailhead, leading south along the coastal bluff. Enjoy scenic views of Spooner’s Cove to the north and venture further to explore tide pools at Corallina Cove. The rugged coastline south of Corallina Cove unveils even more beauty, with features like Quarry Cove, Grotto Rock, and natural bridges carved into the coastal points.

Bluff Trail presents a relatively flat terrain with minimal elevation change, making it accessible to hikers of all abilities. Recent enhancements have rendered the trail wheelchair-friendly, ensuring everyone can appreciate the spectacular scenery. Beyond Bluff Trail, Montaña de Oro State Park offers additional trails and a 50-site campground, providing ample opportunities to explore and immerse in nature at no cost.
