If you are traveling with small children or are becoming weary of navigating slippery rocks, the sea cave in the cliffs near Ladder Rock is a good turnaround point because you have seen the best of the tidepools and rock formations. If you still have energy, continue up the coast to the small Cameo Shores Beach, which, except during low tides, is only accessible via a locked gate from the private community. Continue past more tidepools to Shorecliff Beach, then past even more to Little Corona Beach by Arch Rock.

You can retrace your steps from Little Corona Beach, or use roads to complete a loop by walking up the beach access trail and veering right onto Poppy Avenue to reach the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) in 0.4 mile. From here, Pelican Point is 1 mile southeast on the highway. If you didn’t arrange a bicycle shuttle, you could take OC Transit Bus #1 to avoid walking along the busy road; the bus stops at Poppy Avenue and at Pelican Point Drive, where a trail shortcuts back into the state park.
