Now that I'm on a weight loss kick (have I mentioned I've lost 6lbs since the beginning of the year – 2lbs in the past 2 weeks alone) I'm dragging the whole dang family out to hike at least once a week.  Last week we went to Wilder Ranch State Park.  It's a fantastic walk.  There was only one trail open (the Coastal Trail) which is 3.5 miles each way.  We didn't go that far, but would have hiked a good 2.5 miles at least.  It's a very easy walk with breathtaking views, lots of birds and wildflowers.  A lot of cyclists seem to use the trail with the main path winding around the cliffs and there are little paths going down to secluded beaches too.
