Trails & Park
About half a kilometre of walking on the headland above the west shore – a separate area from the beach, and worth the trip on its own.
The park is separate from the beach
Worth knowing before you set out: the park and the beach are two separate areas. You do not need to walk through the park to reach the water. There are two entrances to the park at the upper parking lot and one more near the lower lot, while the beach is reached from the lower lot directly.
So you can do one, the other, or both – just plan them as two separate walks rather than one continuous route.
How far it goes
The park is one connected trail system with about half a kilometre of walking in total. The headland only rises about six metres end to end, so the trails roll rather than climb – typical grades run between 3% and 7%, with short pitches reaching as steep as 31%.
See Accessibility for distances between the parking lots and the shore, and for what the surface is like underfoot.
What to expect on the trail
Trails here are mostly gravel, with some sections being packed dirt and root. They can be uneven and, after rain, muddy in places – see Accessibility for full detail on terrain and grade.
Wildlife along the way
There are a few foot paths leading down to the water's edge along the trail. There you can spot eagles, gulls, great blue herons, and many other birds, depending on the time of year. Throughout the trail you'll probably spot some rabbits too!
