Coast Walk Footbridge

The Devil’s Slide Footbridge is located one-quarter mile from the intersection of Coast Boulevard and Coast Walk. The railed footbridge crosses a ravine from the 91’ high cliff of Coast Walk to the 84’ high Devil’s Slide cliff with its beach below. The bridge is a trussed wooden trestle consisting of a braced framework of timbers, posts, and cross braces. It is similar in construction to bridges built by the railroads to span similar ravines in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
