Sightseeing
Wonderful short hike 10 minutes away. The parking lot/trail off Beech hill road is a mellow stroll up a well maintained path and on the other side of the hill the trail/parking lot off Rockville st is a 30-45min hike through the woods (Angus and I are frequent morning hikers here). Wonderful views up and down the coast.

Traveler advice
What to pack
Warm layers
In the evenings in summer and fall it's always nice to bring a warm layer. Temperatures vary and it can get chilly quick.
