This is one of the best hikes in California. Start at Pan Toll Station on the shoulder of mount Tamalpais and walk down along a stream through the redwoods (there is even a section with a ladder). Reach the famous Dipsea trail, turn right and come to a fantastic view over the north coast and Stinson Beach. Continue down and pass an ice cream stand then onto Stinson Beach. This trail is about 3 miles. To get back to the start take an Uber (sometimes tough to find in Stinson Beach), the bus (only 4 per day https://marintransit.org/routes/61), or walk back up (back up is the one disadvantage of the trail). Redwoods and coastal scenery make this one fantastic walk.
