Upper Fishermans Trail

Stairs down to Black Sands Beach

The trail down is steep with plenty of stairs. There are a number of places where the flora gets tall and it seems walled in. On a foggy day, the trail disappears ahead of you. On clear days, the beach below provides quite the reward. Become a beachcomber on the Black Sands Beach, take a dip in the Pacific Ocean, and have a picnic before you ascend to the parking lot. 

How to Get there

Drive past Hawk Hill on Conzelman Road and park in the Upper Fisherman’s Parking Lot.
