You will NOT need to leave the trail or bushwack... no assaults on vegetation required.
This is an easy hike on a wide hardpack trail that ends in a spot with a view of a truly "wild" beach. The beach below is set aside for wildlife only... (That's "wildlife" as in animals and birds and such ... NOT wild parties or college students 
).
The coastal trails of Wilder Ranch State Park follow the coast northward for over 4 miles... so you don't need to end your outing here. This just happens to be a nice spot to rest and enjoy the view. The coastal views just get better as you follow the trails northward.
