Seaside School Road Hike


Meet at 9:30 at pullout for Gualala Business Directory to carpool to Cooks Beach. Try to park off the pavement at Cooks Beach as there have been parking tickets issued in the past for cars parked on the pavement. The walk begins at 9:45 going north along Highway 1 for about one block to St. Orres.  We will cross the highway to St. Orres and will walk up Seaside School Road to Old Stage Road to the top of the ridge, stopping as frequently as necessary to rest our legs and drink water. Once we reach our destination, we will return to Cooks Beach by going downhill on Seaside School Road.  We will eat lunch at Cooks Beach.  This is a very steep walk uphill and downhill, so bring your hiking poles.  It is very pretty with pastures, forest, and homes along the road.  The road is paved for the first and last third of the hike.  The middle third is dirt road and is not usable by vehicles.
