Devil’s Slide to Baker Beach

The longest stop we made during our drive up Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to San Francisco was at the hanging bunker and Devil’s Slide Trail. I think that area is my favorite part of the California coastline. It’s hard to say because I love so many parts of the coast for different reasons. We didn’t hike all of Devil’s Slide trail, just enough to get a good feel for it. I’d love to go back and do the whole trail some time. In San Francisco we stopped at Baker Beach where I got to hold a super cool Velella Velella. They are a very distant relative to the jellyfish and have been washing up on the shores in huge groups. Afterwards we ate a quick dinner and headed home to see our little ones.

[…] was beautiful and the traffic was light as we left San Francisco. We stopped along the way at Devil’s slide, Half Moon Bay, Redondo Beach, Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Natural Bridges, and West Side Santa Cruz […]

[…] the first day of our Highway 1 roadtrip we ventured farthest north to Devil’s Slide, then stayed the night in Half Moon […]

Beautiful views and pictures, thanks for sharing.

these images are beautiful. and i recently just read about the Velella Velella!

Beautiful pictures. Half Moon Bay looks as beautiful as it’s name is. Does the water get warm enough to go swimming in when it’s summertime?

All of your pictures make me want to jump on a plane and fly to Cali. Beautiful!

These photos are stunning and just make me want to turn a trip to California into reality. The Coast Line looks just gorgeous!

I can only imagine why the cliffs and area is called Devils Slide! I mean, psh – I do not want to look over that edge and fall into the water and get sucked in man!

Such fun looking at pics of CA when we are getting snow here in PA. Your photos are gorgeous. Love the bird. Is it an eagle?

It’s a red-tailed hawk. 🙂 I haven’t seen many eagles down this way but saw lots in Canada and Alaska.

Pictures are so amazing. Beautiful places. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely stunning! What a lovely place to stop and visit.

such cool shots – especially when there’s nobody there. it’s hard to imagine that it’s part of the city. 🙂
