About this outing
Title

Before booking, make sure you understand the route.

This outing combines coastal scenery, wildlife, and an easy hike for those who want to get some fresh air without tackling a technical or overly demanding trail.

This experience is designed for people who want to hike, take in the coastal scenery, and enjoy a unique experience during the horseshoe crab migration season. The pace is more leisurely than a mountain hike, but you should still come prepared for several hours outdoors.
