Practical

Position is the island guide's map point for Leinster Bay beach. About 0.8 mile, 30 minutes, easy to moderate; closed-toe shoes, full sun (island guide). The beach is a sea-turtle nesting area: no pets. The trail continues onto the Johnny Horn Trail (1.8 miles) to the Windy Hill great-house ruins and on to Coral Bay at the Emmaus Moravian Church; Brown Bay Trail branches toward East End.
