Plan with
Confidence
The beach north of Floras Lake Beach is closed March-September to protect nesting shorebirds. This trail is not suitable to rxh in stormy weather, when the waves could trap or kill a visitor against the sheer cliffs.
Path Type
There and Back
Start your journey by crossing the bridge and following the trail through the sand dunes and past the lake to access Floras Lake Beach. Turn left and head out along the sandy beach. After passing the lake (out of sight), cliffs begin to rise on the left. The cliffs continue to rise higher and higher until they are reminiscent of cliffs along English beaches - the trees atop the headlands diminish this illusion, but add an interesting effect to the overall scene.About 2.3 miles from the trailhead, enjoy views of a very large sea arch on left. Continue another 0.7 miles to the end of Floras Lake Beach at a headland. A waterfall tumbles down the cliff face nearby. At low tide, it may be possible to continue around the headland a short distance, with interesting rocks, driftwood, and other debris.
