Nearly every section of coast enjoyed by the public today is the direct result of one or more decisions based on the Coastal Act. The trails are walked, the waves are surfed, the vistas are open for all to enjoy. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the California Coastal Act, we are highlighting some special coastal access locations that were created in response to California Coastal Commission action. Check our social media platforms and this page as we add new videos. And while you're waiting, why not visit one of these spots today?
