Hit the Trail
One of the most appealing aspects of the trail is its close proximity to the beach. The western end of the trail begins just two blocks from the ocean, allowing you to combine your love of the outdoors with a beach day. As you move inland along the trail, you’ll be greeted by trees and native plants, making it a great spot for nature lovers. Keep your eyes peeled for snowy egrets, blue herons, and other types of birds that frequent the area. For families, the playgrounds and athletic fields at Mance Buchanan Park on the east side of the trail offer fun for kids while parents enjoy a leisurely walk.
