    Hiking

    This is a lovely little loop of a walk. It involves some rock scrambles though so if you're not used to hiking this would be tough. Definitely do this is good shoes (not sandals )

    Hiking

    The summit of Great Head rises 145 feet above sea level, and marks a turning point in the terrain of the trail. To the northeast the trail continues through the woods and along rocky tidal pools, while to the southwest it climbs along open coastal rocks.
