Family Friendly Bike to the beach - what could be better?

Description

Trail? The first half-mile or so is an extension of the paved road that leads to the trailhead. After passing a big barn it turns to dirt and continues rolling towards the ocean with a brief rise before dropping down to the beach. It's only a couple miles but on the ride back to the trailhead, you'll probably be asking yourself "Why are people walking?"
