Easy access to paved bike trail extending to Harford Pier. 9 mile round trip with views of creek, golf course, and beach. Several restaurants along the way. Wildlife sightings included Great Blue Herons, Egrets, and many sea birds. From the pier there were close up views of sea otters, harbour seals, and sea lions.
