We stumbled across this place in a National Geographic adventure guide and it turned out to be pretty cool! The trail is really mellow and flat and lies along the oceanside. There are many small paths down to the rocks and the water where at low tide you can check out all of the tide pools. We found some really good ones full of sea anemones (green and purple ones), fishes, hermit crabs, star fish, muscles and barnacles galore. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area, lower tides are best but there are plenty of benches and some permanent binoculars to check out the splashy waves and the wildlife!
