About Playa Trail
This flat, sandy path leads across the edge of a dry lakebed, with interpretive signs along the way that explain how the landscape formed. It sits off the main dune field, so it suits visitors who want to learn about the park's geology before heading deeper into the dunes. Nearby, the Dune Life Nature Trail and a pair of viewpoints make natural follow-on stops.
