Picture
Caption: It's an easy ride to Bowman Bay. Park at the boat launch and head out for a mildly strenuous afternoon hike. There are a few assents not for the elderly or toddler folk. Wear proper foot gear and you will be just fine. Remember to bring your camera along for amazing views. Keep your eyes open for seals! It's a nice loop out to the lighthouse and back. Bring a snack lunch or barbecue dinner as parks settings abound!

Caption: After the initial incline and decline, rest at the beach for a few moments before heading on to lighthouse point. There are plenty of tiny secluded beaches, coves and viewpoints to discover! Listen for birds, boats and little critters scurrying through the forest floor. Many people bring their dogs along, but they must be kept on a leash at all times.
