California Coast: Within Sight, Scent & Sound of the Ocean
California Coast celebrates the most beautiful and most visited coastline in the world. One of the Golden State's best-kept secrets, the 1100-mile California Coastal Trail follows the coastline in its entirety, a magnificent once-in-a-century planning and construction effort. Over the last 4 years, the team at Rigler Creative (Lost LA & City Walk on public television) visited all 15 counties.
