Hiking Flowerpot Island is the best way to see all that the island has to offer. The loop trail starts at Beachy Cove, taking you past the small and large flowerpots and to the cave where you may choose to climb the stairs to the cave platform. From there, it is just a short hike to the lightstation. You may return to Beachy Cove the same way along the coast, but those who would like a challenge may follow the remainder of the loop trail, which offers a more rugged and adventurous hike though the interior portion of the island.
