It's a really nice and scenic trail. There's a giant parking lot (although it is $6, cash only). That takes you to a nice viewpoint in which you can see the town and the beach. The trail is well maintained, well marked, slightly narrow, but overall a very nice hike with a little bit of elevation but not too tough for most people. It's a good combination of covered and open to the sun. Great way to spend an hour or two.
