A scenic coastal walk from near Point Udall through dry scrub and cactus to East End Bay, Isaac Bay and the hidden cove of Jack Bay.

Practical

Coordinate is the trailhead from GoToStCroix's listing. About 2 to 3 miles round trip, 20 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes depending on how far you go; about 150 ft of elevation; well-defined but rocky and almost shadeless. Trailhead is a small roadside lot on Route 82 about 0.2 mile before Point Udall; parking is limited on weekends; do not leave valuables in the car. Isaac Bay is a primary leatherback nesting beach: follow posted guidelines in nesting season (generally March to August per this listing). No water or toilets.
