It’s easy to see that this place has a special meaning within the community. It’s a very small area and not really a tourist attraction, so odds are you’ll have the place to yourself. Wonderful views and a nice park bench to soak it all in. Be careful if Google Maps gives directions that drive up along the shoreline. The road is incredibly rocky, but is passable.
