Here you will find a more secluded beach area right up against the forest about 1-2 blocks long that is slightly sandy, narrow and somewhat rocky in places with wonderful little cubbyholes and natural windbreak areas for more private and quiet time. Down about 2 blocks the local beachgoers have created a protected perch known as the "Condos" which escapes the bristlling winter winds that sometimes plaque the main beach. As early as February and as late as November (sometimes year round), the nudist specialists are in attendance, naked and armed with reflective metallic backdrops for tanning in the cooler seasons. Immediately past the "Condos" you will access a slightly hidden Trail 4 which is a steeper path with high steps leading up to the Anthropology Museum. Further exploration around the point heading north will lead you to Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks. Be prepared to check the Tide Tables first or you may arrive at the beach easily but may be wading in the ocean or scaling the cliffside to return if it changes. Standing base of Trail 6 facing ocean heading left or south... Right at the back of the main beach is what is known as vendors row where merchandise, various kinds of food, refreshments and healing vendors including massage can be found. On a good day when the tide is way out, walk all the way out to the end of rock pier to what I am told is a fabulous secluded sandy beach area. Lovers go there for privacy. Be sure to consider you may have to walk back on the rocks if the tide comes in before you return so good running shoes are a must. Check tide tables. Explore the very back of the beach closest to the forest behind the mud flats. The trails along the forest shore in this area are particularly beautiful and you will feel as though you have walked into a tropical paradise. With small white sandy alcoves, overgrown bush carved out to walk through, amazing vistas of the ocean perched on a log at waters edge, waterfalls, cliff top trails and lots of flora and fauna, it is a captivating journey.
