Tips
The Beehive trail is extremely exposed, and requires hikers to climb using metal bars drilled into the cliffside for a significant portion of the trail. The path is one way (up only), and those with a fear of heights should seek alternative routes. Views of Sand Beach and Great Head from the cliffside are unparalleled anywhere else in the park. During popular times the trail will be a conga line up the mountain, but well worth it!

The ascent has it all, but definitely worth it. As climbing aids iron steps and grab handles are attached in some places.

The difficulty here is clearly the ascent. The warning before the ascent should not be underestimated.
Overall, I don't see the round as EASY.translated by•September 8, 2019
