Confirmed from Seaview Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.
Scenic, short, dog-friendly trail with Pacific Ocean views and sunset vistas.
What runners say about Seaview Trail
“It has panoramic views of the ocean and hills the entire walk, such a beautiful sight.”
Beautiful views of the coast: Laguna Niguel and Laguna Beach, the trail is pretty short: a half mile, but it is enough for walking a dog, so you meet local dog walkers here all the time :-) Dirt road trail .
This is a short trail that offers great views of the Pacific Ocean. Access the trail at Badlands Park. It is a very short hike, which makes it a great choice for various hikers who want a nice walk with great views. More adventurous hikers can drop into Badlands Park and onto that trail.
Best ocean view of any trail in Laguna Beach. You are hundreds of feet above pch, overlooking everything in the city. Truly a must see during sunset!
Words can not describe the experience you will have. This trail is magical. First date best top 5 of OC discussion over. I'm glad its low key main stream. You see professional photographers there everyday... its this glow at sunset that's a sure fire instant cover shot.
