The Lost Coast is aptly named for being the wildest coast in California. On this paddle trip you'll enjoy views of 2,000 foot high forested cliffs as you paddle beside them from Shelter Cove to Bear Harbor. At 5.5 miles beaches began to appear but are not reached without difficulty. Rocks sit offshore from here to Bear Harbor. Camping is available at Bear Harbor and this trip can be used in junction with the Bear Harbor to Usal Beach trip. If you make this an overnight trip, parking is free at Shelter Cove. If not, you can either leave a car at both landings or get a shuttle by the hosts at Shelter Cove RV Park and Campground. Some things to consider are fog, afternoon winds, and sudden rough seas.
