Harmony Headlands Hike with Kids, Cayucos

For kiddos like mine who may not have the patience for a full-fledged grownup hike, the Harmony Headlands Trail is a totally doable 1.5-mile trek. Just enough for the fam to get outside, get some fresh air, and see what there is to see off the beautiful Highway 1 Discovery Route.

Harmony Headlands is a 784-acre State Park reaching out toward the coast. You can hike there from 6 a.m. to sunset and there’s dirt parking with room for about 10 cars at the entrance off southbound Highway 1, five minutes north of Cayucos.

Nuby Flip-it Active Cup Review

This cup has beautiful print designs but unfortunately, the button to open the lid is super sensitive. We bumped it open while carrying the cup in a bag, so it leaked all over everything. Since we’re usually on the go, accidently pressing the open button would happen all the time, and I wouldn’t chance traveling with it because of that.

Beach days — I love them. I hate them. Overall, beach or not, I would say about half of our adventures go well. It’s totally my kids’ ages, though.

Here’s my rant about taking the kids to the beach by myself. Keep reading if you want to read about a super embarrassing moment.
