Pinnacle Gulch Coastal Access Trail is a half-mile coastal trail that provides access to a picturesque private beach along Bodega bay. The trail is accessible from a parking lot at the Bodega Harbour golf community, located near the bay's southern entrance at Highway 1.

It is unpaved along its half-mile route, which descends along a gulch area that is fed by a small stream. Wildflowers, berries, and coastal scrub line the trail, which eventually departs at a quarter-mile stretch of private beachfront that offers tide pools and unique rock formations for visitor observation. For an extended walk, visitors can add the Shorttail Gulch Coastal Access Trail loop to the route, bringing the total distance up to 1.9 miles.
