Naked Man Memorial Hike
Trail is considered a moderately challenging trail although the hill on
the way back will challenge you more! Trail is a 2.7 km return shared
nature hike to the coast. Trail is wider for motorized vehicles and
possible to see wildlife on the trail and at beach. The beach is nice
although best times to see more of the beach with the sand bar is during
low tides. Around the beach there is a shallow cave, small waterfall and
up the coast you can see the rock formation called "Bacon Strip".
There are memory benches on the trail for rest areas and to enjoy being out
in nature. The name of this beach came from the pillars in front of the beach
which form a naked man sitting down that can be seen on your return from
the sand bar. It is asked that you stay on the marked trail and pets are
welcomed but must be on a leash while you pass through private land. This
trail is within the Plate Cove volcanic belt and under the Discovery Geo
Park. This hike was signed and opened by volunteers in 2021.
