A site called Coastal Living has a list of intriguing coastal strolls around the nation. They plucked this one from the zillions of California choices:
California: Redwood National Park
South of the Oregon border, hikers will discover a flamboyantly scenic trail in Redwood National Park. The Yurok Loop to Hidden Beach explores the lagoon area of the 40-mile Coastal Trail pathway. Cypress, alder, and dense coastal scrub shrouds hikers on their way to views of the shoreline. The beautiful cove of Hidden Beach serves as a turnaround. For information, call 707/465-7306 or visit nps.gov/redw/.
Most impressive: they found a beach in Texas, too.
