February 13, 2021Great offshoot trail within Sharpe Park. Some areas toward the end are pretty rooty, rocky and steep, but still completely manageable.
January 18, 2021Trail was great today! Stunning views. A little overgrown in places, I recommend having the map open just in case. Only ran across a handful of people along the trail.
October 28, 2020trail was overgrown for everything past the first .25 of a mile. not
October 12, 2020I think the trail was good. I don’t like rocky trails. There were a few towards the end. We climbed down the cliff to get really close to the water. Just beautiful!
October 3, 2020This hike is short and steep. The trail is pretty rocky and not well groomed. We did see some dolphins at Porpoise Point so that was a nice surprise. Overall, for the distance we drove, it was too short to make it worthwhile.
August 29, 2020Beautiful conditions. A bit rocky near the end but did fine with a 2 year old in my kid pack. Had to bypass part of the trail via another route due to the final section being helpfully marked by another hiker as having 2 active Yellowjacket nests. Avoided that section and didn’t have any problems with the insects. Incredible views at the rocky bluff. Spotted a porpoise pod and dozens of seals. One seal came up the the bluff as we were standing on it.
August 18, 2020Beautiful trail lots of shade and beautiful views along the waterfront. Many places to pull off and just reflect and listen to the sound of the ocean, not many people at all on a Tuesday evening.
August 5, 2020Warning two hornet nests on Porpoise trail. Active and angry nests. They stung us pretty badly
July 20, 2020Did this trail today and it was good! It was 88 degrees too, so it was pretty hot and tiring, hoping for more wind lol, but definitely going back to do the other trails
July 7, 2020Went over the 4th of July weekend and it started out great until we started going down. There was swarms of bees. My 3 year old son and 2 dogs got stung. We didn't make it to the water because of the bees.
May 12, 2020April 4, 2020Awesome trail with gorgeous views! Sat on the rocks overlooking the ocean and had some lunch! Will definitely be back soon!
March 8, 2020Beautiful views
February 18, 2020Absolutely beautiful! Easy on the way down for people that hike more often. Getting down by the water is the more complicated part but still not bad. Had an amazing time with a totally awesome view!!
August 22, 2019August 2, 2019Such a chill hike. Coming back up was a bit of a challenge but nothing too hard. Saw a total of 4 people! Great hike for all ages.
June 28, 2019It was a good outing. Took my 5 kids, ages 3-13, completed entire trail. Wouldn’t do again.
June 16, 2019*stunning views *almost no one else on trail from porpoise point to sares. *bring water for the dogs....not much else to use here.
May 28, 2019This trail was such a pleasant surprise! The trail started out pretty well maintained but the last half was more like dirt trails. I followed one of the recordings that someone did when they traveled on that trail to make sure I stayed on the right path (there are a lot of side trails). It wasn’t super confusing but just a tip:) the end view was beyond gorgeous! I highly recommend this hike if you want to see a pure, panoramic view of the water with no obstructions. Just be very careful because the last leg of the trail, towards the cliffs, is very steep and there are no guardrails for the cliffs by the ocean! But I just loved the view, should be on everyone’s bucket list!
May 1, 2019Completed on March 24th. Was a great hike. Not too intense. The way down was much easier than the way up. It is a downhill incline. TONS of porpoises!! The view was amazing. Would do again. Nothing too intense but a great little hike.
April 15, 2019Great trail! Well marked and a really nice path for most of the hike. Had my toddler in the hiking pack and my 8 year old. Nice views too.
