The wind off the Pacific tugs at your jacket as the Pedego’s motor hums to life and the pier slides away behind you. You roll past families on the sand, gulls wheel above the bluff, and the road unfurls toward Shell Beach; the coast here is direct, bright and sharply defined by cliffs and surf.

Share the Road
Expect stretches beside vehicle traffic—stay right, signal turns, and follow your guide’s instructions when crossing busy frontage roads.
Hydrate Early
Bring a full reusable water bottle—the sun and wind can dehydrate you quickly on exposed bluff sections.

Timing for Light and Traffic
Start early or late afternoon to avoid peak summer traffic and catch softer light for photos at the pier and Mulligan’s.
Reusable Water Bottle
Hydration for exposed bluff and trail sections is essential.
Light Windproof Jacket
