Favorite Hikes - Pirate's Cove

This hike is a more strenuous version of our earlier Tennessee Valley hike. Like the previous one, take the Mill Valley/Highway 1 exit off of 101, and then turn left onto Tennessee Valley Road. Drive all the way to the end, and you'll find a parking lot at the trailhead. Take the main trail until you reach the path for the Coastal Trail. Hike up the hill until you reach a cross roads. Take the Pirate's Cove fork and follow it all the way down to the beach. It's the perfect place to bring a picnic.
