Maritime Hammock Sanctuary

The trailhead is at the north end of the sanctuary by the grassy/sandy parking area. The trail is very well marked, easy to follow, and offers a relatively even surface. Scattered throughout are simple wooden benches and informative "You are here" signs. As the loop reaches the edge of the sanctuary, a marker directs you to the left, and you emerge at the south trailhead. Turn left and walk up the paved bicycle trail along A1A past the inholding--Mark's Landing. There, you'll reach the trailhead and the end of the loop.

A portion of this sanctuary was once the site of an exotic plant nursery. Many of the nonnative plants that were grown at the nursery, such as Madagascar periwinkle and asparagus fern have escaped into the hammock. An intensive nonnative invasive plant removal project is underway.
