Cape Lookout South Beach Trail
About this event
Not far from the Cape Lookout Trailhead, we will descend to South Beach through a beautiful Sitka spruce forest with peek-a-boo glimpses of the ocean below. South Beach is nestled below the sheer cliffs of the Cape Lookout promontory, and is fairly quiet and secluded. We will continue along the shoreline until we reach a total of 2.5 miles, or a nice sitting log for lunch. The headland may be muddy in places, and the descent is sometimes steep and somewhat craggy. Poles are recommended.
