Parks & Nature
Meditation Gardens
215 W K StYou can stay on the cliffside and take in the gorgeous views or hike down the goat trail to the beach! This is an epic surf spot and beautiful walking beach. Beware that is is also a nude beach though and the walk down is not for the faint at heart. If you choose to stay on the cliffs, you are still rewarded with magnificent views. You can get sandwiches at the glider port lunch spot!
