Soberanes Point is a hidden gem in Garrapata State Park, located in the beautiful Big Sur area of California. This 2-mile loop trail offers stunning coastal views and is known for its abundance of spring wildflowers. The trailhead is a bit elusive, with no official signs to guide you, but don't worry - just keep your eyes peeled for gates 8, 9, or 10 along Highway 1. The hike itself is relatively easy, with some stairs and observation decks along the way. If you're lucky, you might even spot a few narrow trails leading down to Garrapata Beach. So grab your hiking boots and get ready to explore this picturesque trail that will leave you feeling like an essential part of the breathtaking surroundings.

Disclaimer: There is no official parking lot here, and room for only a couple of vehicles. So if there are already a couple of vehicles there, you may have to park down the road and walk. Be safe!
