There are several loops that meander through a variety of habitats with a few secret views if you're brave enough to make it to the end. Finish off your hike with a picnic either right on the beach or at a scenic picnic table.
A fabulous wildlife refuge with a zillion opportunities to spot wildlife. Birds will be easiest to spot and there are plenty of opportunities. On the trails there are still opportunities, but a little bit harder as these forest creatures tend to be secretive.
An absolute treat! Get here early to grab one of the spectacular campsites on the coast. If your timing is lucky, you can whales, Eagles, and more along the coast. A moderate strenuous hike with lots of roots and just a few rocks. Pack your water in, bring your camera and watch the starts like no place else. A real treat.
A spectacular trail meandering through varied habitats that emerges onto a beach point for a little bit of rock scrambling and tide pooling. Obvious to see why this has been reserved as a refuge for wildlife.
A very short but very steep hike that brings you to the top of a small hill that has spectacular views of the Ocean and surrounding towns. A sure not to miss.
