Named one of the top 10 secret beaches by Sunset Magazine, this is a fairly easy 10-minute hike through mossy rainforests ending in a smooth pebbled beach. Spend a half or full day exploring this hidden gem. Walk along a cool sandstone creek that falls below you into a misty waterfall before it disappears into the stony beach.  When the tide is low, there are numerous sandstone tidal pools with a rich diversity of colorful ocean life to explore.  While enjoying a gourmet lunch, sit back and enjoy amazing views and ocean life passing by.  This lovely destination can be added along the way to China or Mystic.

An easy 20-minute hike through a mature forest full of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and red cedars. The trail ends at tumultuous rolling seas and a fine sand beach perfect for half or full day of picnicking, whale watching, and relaxing.  This beach has exceptionally diverse tidal pools to explore at low tide, and a short walk brings you to a view of a waterfall that flows into the ocean.  If you want to see more, neighboring Mystic Beach is only an hour’s hike away!

This 1 hour 30 minute hike has guests walking to a beautiful, fine sand beach. Trail includes a suspension bridge, a walk through a largely rooted trail, and finally a long drop to the beach along a giant felled and notched tree.  The white-sanded beach includes a hanging waterfall, beach caves, and at low tide a walkthrough rock arch.  This is a fantastic spot to spend a day exploring, stretching out and enjoying a gourmet meal while taking in the spectacular views. (Total 4 km) For a more challenging hike, add a few kilometers from Mystic to Bear Beach.
