Easy walk from the parking lot. You can wear snacles or closed toes shoes. The sand is hard and easy to walk. Occasionally, I had to jump over water running into the ocean. The wind can be intense on the north side but it calms down as you walk to the south side. Lots of beautiful drift wood and shells. Found a skeleton of something - see photos. Surprisingly, there were a lot of dead craps on the beach. Since it is such an easy walk you can lose yourself strolling along the beautiful ocean.

We went to see the sunset at Point St. George. It was a wonderful experience! Soooo much driftwood and many other sea treasures to see! Also - sunset! The trail there was probably easy, if we'd have stuck to it...
