POINT ARENA PUBLIC LANDS LOOP

Meet at 9:20 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 9:30 at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) to carpool and start at Point Arena City Hall at 10:00.  After entering the public lands, take the trail on your right. Walk north until you reach a road that will lead you to the bluff and spectacular ocean views. Follow the bluff for a while to appreciate the spectacular middle section and then turn around and walk south along the bluff and return with views of Arena Cove.  A suitable lunch spot will be found with a good view before returning to the cars. This is mostly coastal grassland so there isn't much elevation change, but the ground is uneven and there are gopher holes so good hiking shoes are helpful.
