Schooner Cove Trail
Schooner Cove
A rainforest boardwalk at the northern end of Long Beach, about 1 km down to the secluded Schooner Cove beach, where starfish and tide pools appear at low tide.
The trail starts from a roadside parking lot, passes through rainforest and streams, and descends wooden steps to the beach. One way takes about 20 minutes. Schooner Cove Beach is open and quiet. At low tide you can walk south along the sand all the way to the main section of Long Beach. The rocky northern area has tide-pool life such as starfish and sea anemones. A park day pass is required. Watch the tide and return before it rises to avoid being cut off.
