ABOUT THIS HIKE

This is one of my favorite hikes!
The stretch of waterfront is challenging and very scenic.

To get from the beach back to civilization we will have to walk up

A VERY STEEP path up the bluffs, so steep that even I held on to the ropes previous hikers ties around trees

We will make our way to the beach walking on city streets and through parks for a few km.
Our 4 km on the beach will include walking at the base of the bluffs on sand, jagged rocks, mudslides,
over fallen trees, and 1.5 km on huge seawall boulders (which may have waves crashing on them depending on the wind)
Then we will walk on city streets again for a few km back to Main station
Be prepared for the possibility that your feet might get wet, sandy and muddy!

We'll have a snack break on the beach somewhere
