Plan on a 1/2 day for this experience. Due to steep grade you need to either hike down or have a proper vehicle with 4 wheel drive, like a Jeep. Wear good shoes and bring water. Hike down is on a narrow paved road with a 25 percent grade. It will do numbers on your calves...at the bottom you can go 2 directions. Road to the left has a nice waterfall, you cannot get super close but it's a nice walk, just stay on the road and don't go on locals property. If you go to the right at the bottom of the descent, that path will take you to the beach. Water was ok temp but it's very wavy, saw a surfer or two. Nice area to have a picnic lunch. We did about 4 1/4 miles that day, we did both paths left and right. Mileage was=1 mile down, 1 1/4 mile path to the left to the waterfall, 3/4 mile path to the beach, 1 mile back up. The paths at the bottom are pretty flat, thank goodness. The beach path can get really muddy. If you see mud, look to the right, in the woods, there is a small path people walk through that will drop you at the beach. Take breaks as needed going back up that mega hill. Your body will thank you! Just stay to the side to allow vehicles to pass.
