Things to do

 

Taking in Nature

Enjoy the expansive Sea Ranch Trail system (downloadable map), including the Bluff Trail which runs the entire 10 mi. Sea Ranch coastline or the nearby Salal Trail, where you can take in the peaceful waterfall in the rainy season and might even catch some playful otters. Or you can play a leisurely game of Pétanque or Bocce at One-eyed Jack's. Be sure to also follow the hedge-row trail to the coastline to spot some harbor seals.

Pools & Recreation Facilities

With the provided passes, guests have access to all three rec centers in Sea Ranch featuring amenities including pools, saunas, and tennis/pickleball courts. The Del Mar rec center is the closest, just across Highway 1 (0.4 mi.).

If golf is your thing, schedule a tee time at the Sea Ranch Golf Links (1.3 mi., open to the public). Please view the TSRA.org website for current information regarding COVID restrictions at guest facilities.
