Easy access to Sand beach before entering park so you avoid all the traffic. Stop for swim and then finish the hike . Great views at point and can climb down to sea level

If hiking with a baby in a back pack carrier you may find this trail to be very difficult to climb some of the rocks. I guess that's why they consider it moderate though right?

A good amount of scrambling, but still fun and stunning views of Sandy Beach and more.

Follow the blue markers and make sure to stop by Sand Beach !

Moderate hike but definitely doable for all. Takes about an hour to do the whole loop
