Kortum Trail is one of those dream trails: moderately flat, open fielded with an ocean view during the whole hike. You just can't go wrong with it! The parking lot where I started (and where the Alltrails app says the trail begins) is insanely small fitting at most 5 cars. The good news is that just nearby (well, maybe not exactly nearby 1-2 miles from the beginning of the trail) is Shell beach which has a much larger parking lot. I actually hiked another trail just across the road from that parking lot.
Regardless where you begin, the views are incredible.

| Yes, the trail is this wide for most of the length of the trail |

| I did say "for the MOST of the trail", didn't I? |
If you are lucky, you might find a condor warming up in the sun...
The last part of the trail goes up and quickly descends to the beach. The trail continues all the way to another beach, but I decided to just enjoy one of them.
This is a "must go" trail, especially for travelers. It shows so much what California has to offer in one place.
