OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Near the northern tip of the island, this
short but sharply inclined trail leads to a
wind swept beach at the mouth of a lush
valley on the island's windward shore. The
riveting views of the cliff lined coast
along the way are an extra treat. The beach
is too hazardous for swimming on most days,
but the beachcombing is fantastic......... |
