trails - black sand beach at ragged point inn


after the first time I walked barefoot in the thick green grass, I knew I had to plan another journey back to ragged point inn. the daydreaming and researching paid off, as I was pleasantly surprised to discover there was a trail down to a black sand beach and waterfall on the property.

the trek:
- walk to the northern coastal edge of the property, behind the convenience store
- the trailhead is the unmarked path next to the scenic gazebo lookout
- head down the stairs and keep going down

the tips:
