"Located in Eastern Passage, this is a good circular hike along a boardwalk. You can step off the boardwalk in several places and walk out onto the rocks or beach. The beach is right beside the shops and pier of Eastern Passage, so make sure to stop for a quick bite to eat (the lobster sandwich is great!) or shop for some local souvenirs."
