One of our favorite hikes on the Sonoma Coast. We started from a pull-out along Coastal Highway 1 near Horseshoe Cove and hiked to the Sentinel Rock Overlook at Fisk Mill Cove. It's an interesting hike that takes one through coastal prairies, over forested knolls, along the rocky bluff, and finally through a overgrown forest area where the trail is hard to follow, there are two creek crossings that require a down-climb, and a lot of downed trees.
An out-and-back hike of 5 miles, but feels like 8 or 10.
The perfect hike would be a thru hike from Horseshoe Cove to Gristle Cove with a shuttle car at the Gristle Cove parking lot at Salt Point State Park. That would be a hard 6 mile hike because of the overgrown trail between Fisk Mill and Stump Beach Cove, but would allow you to hike almost the entire coastal portion of Salt Point State Park.
