An easy hike with the best ocean views in the Bay Area.
Devil's Slide is a famous walk/hike because it provides some of the best ocean views anywhere in the Bay Area. Despite the intimidating name, Devil's Slide is actually a very easy, wide, paved path running for 1.3 miles one-way along the top of a steep cliff face overlooking the ocean below. With no technical challenges and only mellow grades, it's a very family-friendly walk and is also ADA-accessible.
In addition to its scenic views, the trail offers several convenient amenities, including benches for resting along the way, pet waste stations, bike racks, drinking fountains, and restrooms.
For a longer hike, you can connect to more rugged trails in Pedro Point Headlands or the Historic Old Colma Road.
