We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Old Sea World Drive Bay Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Old Sea World Drive Bay Trail
I find it funny that I can review trails but here I am doing it. I came here with my cousin, and it was an easy straight forward Trail. I got a little lost finding it but that’s on me. It was enjoyable. Nice views. Recommend taking a bike. It’s a flat easy trail. I am not sure where people are expected to park.
The walk from Dana Landing to Fiesta Island is kind of long but is full of life and well worth the effort. The path is flat and smooth the whole way so walking,running or biking is easy. There are restrooms at the boat launch. The path is even divided between pedestrians and bike riders.
Really pretty walk by the marsh, at the end you get to the ocean and there's a dock and a rocky point you can walk out onto. So nice! 😍
