This easy hike is peppered with interpretive signs, and very well groomed. In fact, much of it is paved.
The entire loop trail is only two miles in length, although if you take the spur trails down to the beach it’s a little bit further.

But the trail is mostly flat, only ascending 213 feet total in elevation gain. This keeps the entire area accessible for all skill levels.
