You can access the awe-inspiring Rim Trail from most anywhere on the perimeter of Sue-meg State Park, including Palmer’s Point Road, Abalone Campground, Wedding Rock Road, and Agate Beach Campground. Choose any segment to enjoy splendid views of the California Coast.

In some places the views are unobstructed. In others you’ll be walking through cozy tunnel of Sitka spruce, red alder, salal, salmon berry, rhododendrons and other hardy seaside vegetation. Listen for winter wrens and varied thrushes. Look seaward for marine mammals. And don’t forget to look up—bald eagles, osprey, and other interesting birds may be soaring overhead.
