“From the top to the beach, if it's foggy, you disappear, if clear, enjoy the views from this path! ”

Dogs: No Dogs

Description [Suggest Changes]

As you descend, the water that seems so far away at the start becomes more and more inviting. This trail is a steady descent along the coast line. The path is easy going most of the way, and near the bottom you become surrounded by trees right up to the campgrounds. Plan on taking a while to complete the return journey up and out though.
