The trails near the parking lots and the beach are relatively smooth, with some surfacing. Some of these trails are boardwalks and others have relatively smooth gravel surface. Otherwise, most hiking trails are rough and can be challenging. 

Typically, on these trails, you will have to step over protruding rocks and tree roots, walk up and down steep rock steps, and tread through muddy wet patches. Conditions are often very slippery. Many people find a walking stick helpful on rough, slippery trails.

You’ll need sturdy footwear like walking shoes, sneakers, or boots. Street shoes or sandal-type footwear with open toes and heels are unsuitable for these rough hiking trails. If you have questions about the trails’ conditions, call us.

Most outings exceed three hours, so remember to bring drinking water, something to eat, and appropriate outdoor clothing.

Hiking times are approximate and do not include time to appreciate nature and views from look-offs.
