These trails reach the beach through wooded coastal forests. The Third Beach Trail is a mile-long sand beach with winding curves. It ends near Taylor Point where a waterfall drops off a bluff. The Second Beach Trail passes through dense, marshy forests. Hiking during the evening hours is the best due to the remarkable sunsets.
Low tide exposes colorful sea urchins, anemones and limpets.
Black oyster catchers and sea gulls can be seen foraging on the beaches. Bald eagles fly high above. An astonishing number of huge tree logs can be seen pounding against the rocks. Trees that fall down in the interior forests are dumped into the ocean by rushing rivers. The sculptured arches and sea stacks stand like pillars guarding the coastline.
