Sightseeing
We go here all the time if we want a little hike but don’t have time to drive outside of town. Great trails just a short drive from our house. Be sure to head down the trails leading to the beach if you are comfortable with a steep (but short) hike back up. Trail can be muddy and slippery so wear appropriate shoes.
