A true local gem, known for its pristine conditions and gorgeous coastal scenery, Muir Beach is one of the top beaches in the area. The quiet cove is often secluded, offering a relaxing respite from the buzz of the city. Hikers especially enjoy easy access to Coyote Ridge trail and the Coastal Trail to Tennessee Cove. There's also a trail to Muir Beach Overlook, but be cautious as the land sheers off dramatically. Here's a fun, full Sunday that includes Muir Beach: morning Zazen meditation at Green Gulch Farm, a hike up from Muir Beach onto the Coastal Trail loop, back down for pints at Pelican Inn and then cozying up on a blanket on Muir Beach and enjoying a northern California sunset.
