Hike Description
Check the tide tables, and bring the kids to this delightful beach at low tide.
From the parking lot, head north to find a waterfall spilling onto the beach. Much of the headland here is sandstone, and wave action has carved out several explorable caves. Hug Point itself has an old wagon road carved around its edge for vehicles to avoid the tidal waters. At low tide, the old road is revealed and is a tidepool area covered with mussels, anemones and starfish.
