Hiking

The path is only accessible at low tide. So you should pay close attention to the tides! If you get stranded on the island and you can't get back to town because of the high tide, you have to stay there for 9 hours. 😵‍💫😵‍💫🫣

Hiking

The land bridge to Bar Island is dry at low tide and should be hiked 1.5 hours before and 1.5 hours after low tide. The trail leads to a hill in the interior of the island, where you have a good view of the town and the land bridge. However, there is a less traveled trail along the coast around the entire island.
