We were here when it was raining so the trail was wet and muddy. At first it’s a bit steep and rocky, and it was an ungroomed trail. You pass beautiful trees and shrubs on your way down to the scenic view of the beach, cliffs, and ocean. Proceed with caution due to falling tree branches and coconuts (there’s a sign). The ground seems to have broken away on cliff side in some areas so watch your step. When you get your fill, head back the same way you came.

A really great downhill walk through forest to the sea. Can be muddy and rocky/uneven - so wear sturdy shoes. You can cut across through the stream at the bottom to a pathway that traverses the botanical garden and go up to road.

What a fun little walk! Not too steep or treacherous and the views were fantastic! The little beach is t good for swimming but great for hunting sea glass

Pretty much a straight shot downhill to the edge of the ocean then straight back up the hill. The trail is a bit rocky and muddy if it's been raining. Tree roots to trip on. I really wouldn't call this an interesting trail to hike, but the area is pretty and there's a small waterfall off to the side...

Lots of roots from the trees and a few stones but don’t find it steep as other visitors stated… there is just one parking spot for free parking right at the donkey trail sign. The parking lot on the other side is from the botanical garden park and...
