Overview
From the trailhead, head towards the ocean where the trail leads to the beach. You can detour to splash in the waves, and the trail does seem to disappear into the sand. Have no fear, the trail resurfaces as you approach Franklin Point. There is a wooden bench at the very end where you can sit and enjoy the view and the sound of the crashing waves beneath you.<br><br>This is a short but pleasant route, and visitors of all ages will enjoy the park.
