Cruickshank Trail to Villa Creek Camp, 6 miles - Great mountain, ocean and creek views, along with a wide variety of tree and plant life. This trail has it all.
After an initial set of switchbacks, the Cruickshank Trail is a fairly straight run along the canyon above Villa Creek, eventually winding down towards Villa Creek Camp and it's gorgeous redwood setting near several small waterfalls and sun-dappled pools of water.

Willow Creek Trail (3.6 miles) - Although a little out of the way, the Willow Creek Trail winds through huge redwoods, a beautiful rocky creek, and a bit of history.
Several campsites also dot the well-maintained path which starts off as an old rocky road and includes a crumbling homestead site in addition to gorgeous trees and scenery.

Mill Creek Trail (3.2 miles) - Less than a mile from Highway 1, but worth the 2 or 3 hour hike into Mill Creek Canyon. A moderate 3.2 mile out and back hike, the scenery varies from California Bay forests to huge Redwood groves and rocky streams. The trail is a bit sketchy in places, but mostly flat and straight.

Partington Cove Trail (1 mile) - A quick and steep hike takes you down through a tree-lined canyon to a scenic rocky beach and through a tunnel to Partington Cove. Used as a loading point for tanbark around the turn of the nineteenth century, Partington Cove's history comes alive as you walk through the 60 foot tunnel and pop out in a secluded cove where rusty remains of the loading apparatus perch on the rocks.
