Explore the tide pools – From the Ocean Bluffs Trail, climb down to Corallina Cove. You can't miss the giant-size bright green
sea anemones, plus turban snails, shore crabs, hermit crabs, and sea stars (resist the urge
to poke your fingers in the sea anemones). |

Take Sand Spit Rd. to the end, from the parking lot, it's a short walk down to the sand
dunes. Play in the dunes (sand is very soft and fine-grained, bring beach toys), run around piles of driftwood, investigate
clam shells and kelp washed up on the shore – it's a long sandy
beach that seems to go on forever. |
