Located within Redwood National Park, Enderts Beach is one of the most scenic beaches within the park, but takes a mellow hike to reach it. To get to this driftwood-laden, rock-studded coastline, visitors will walk just under a mile along a portion of the old Coast Highway that has long been abandoned.
It is downhill on the way there and uphill on the way back; the halfway mark is the pastoral Nickel Creek Campground that welcomes backpackers overnight. This crescent shaped beach might not be ideal for swimming, but it is perfect for leisurely strolls along the shoreline, kite flying, sand-castling, and walking around the tide pools at low-tide.
