Not long but beautiful. Not for “balance challenged” people due to rocky sections.
This is one of my favourite trails near the city. If you're looking for a nice short coastal trail, look no further.
A beautiful walk along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The ground can be a little uneven at times but the view is magnificent.
Wonderful views and truly beautiful area . Definitely a bit scrambly and be careful if you take your dog as there are a lot of steep dropoffs to the ocean below. Could have sat on top of the large rock formations looking out over the ocean for hours !!
great trail. not too long but some spots were steep and made for a great morning walk with my dog. some of the pathways were very narrow, so having my excited dog on leash was difficult but manageable. No ticks on either of us which was a bonus!
great hike that doesn't take long to complete. lots of rocks to sit on and enjoy the view.
Pretty much a mini Duncan’s cove with out the forts. #Neature
I can't believe I've lived so close to here and not known about this trail sooner! I was blown away by how beautiful it was and spent hours on the rocks along the way admiring the beauty around me. Reminds me a lot of Peggy's Cove but without all the people!!! 10/10 definitely recommend
Lovely short hike with great views, however there was very few shade spots and it was a scorcher day. Went there by bus and there is a 15 min walk before and after to the bus stop, 9B from downtown Halifax.
