Great place for birdwatching. Great Blue Herons and species at risk purple martins.

Beautiful trail, well packed and easy to navigate.

This was a great walk, both along the trail and on the beach.
There is good signage to give historic perspective as to how and why the area developed as it did as well as information on current reclamation efforts.
The trail is fairly easy. Going out onto the beach areas at low tide you need to be a little more aware of your footing.
There are numerous places to stop and rest.

One of the most beautiful easily accessible trails in the area! The shipwrecks are great.

Beautiful little trail just outside of Courtney which is worth stopping at because it gives you a fun little track behind some fabulous seaside houses in the forest as well as opening up into the beach and flat plains of the ocean. Nice view of sailboats going by and a beautiful blue sky with puffy clouds kind of day.

do keep an eye out on the highway for the turn off which is hard to find. Use Google to navigate if you need too!

Would love come explore more. Really neat paved trail broken where fresh water runs to the ocean, but seemed to be a connection to go around. Streams and pools on one side, driftwood and tide on the other.

Nice little stop off for a stroll..Interesting shipwrecks.
Lots of Birdlife to observe, such as Eagles and Blu Herons in large numbers.

Great walking trail, good place to paddle board and dive, cool shipwrecks with lots of history
