Hermit Island
This trail was easily one of my favorites thus far. It was so beautiful that we ended up doing almost 2 extra miles because of how many times we went off the trail to see more views. It took us longer than we planned, but it was totally worth it because when we were done the sun was setting and it was stunning. Overall, the trail was a great workout, it had a great mix of hiking in the woods and hiking along the ocean, and it had several vistas,…

On our way to the trail it was partly sunny and warm, but once we got to the trail, the weather was cloudy…

It is perfect if you want to explore, have a picnic or if you just want to…

It is easy for beginners and kids, plus it has as a good summit view – especially if you’re looking to catch a sunset. Overall, I would hike this trail again. It is a good hike to do as a beginner or to just get outdoors. It also would be a perfect running trail, if you’re into trail running. I think that…
