Many people begin this walk by parking at Ferry Beach or Scarborough Beach and walking to the start of the trail. These two beaches bookend the actual cliff trail and add to the beauty of the overall trail. If you choose to add in the beach portion, you're looking at a walk of about 4 miles. Either way you'll be heading towards Black Point Inn. Once there, look for a stone building to the left of the Inn. Behind this building is the trail head. It's not especially well-marked, so keep an eye out. The start of the trail is stone and will lead you in the right direction.

While we’ve never gone that route, we’ve heard alternating reports of its ease. Some say you can park for a fee, some say you can park with no fee and others recommend you eat at the inn if you’re going to use their parking lot. We recommend either giving them a call ahead of time to ask, or simply trying your luck and see what feels like the best thing to do.
