On a recent site visit, the JPA River Park Trails Committee gathered at the edge of the lagoon to discuss a possible route for a trail to the beach.

The Coast to Crest Trail now ends at the Boardwalk entrance off Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar.  Alternative ways to "Reach The Beach" by extending the western end of the trail all the way to the ocean are under consideration

The Coast-to-Crest Trail in the San Dieguito River Valley, when completed, will link the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the river in Del Mar to the headwaters of the river on Vulcan Mountain, 55 miles to the east near Julian.
