Amazing people to meet. Good company And good healthy food. I forgot my purse and Pansy (the owner) drove around to find us to give it back. She remembered us from the year before. We will be going back for sure.

This is a relaxing 2.52 km walk. The path is a mixture of boardwalk and well-packed gravel. A very talented artist has painted many rocks with different themes that would be pleasing to both adults and children. There are a number of stops along the way offering seating and two thoughtfully placed restrooms. If desired, there is a path to Dead Man's Cove leading off of this trail. We may do that tomorrow.
