Parks & Nature & Outdoor activities
Cape Falcon trail can be reached off of Falcon Cove Road in our cove. Look for a trailhead that is on the south side. It’s about 3hr walk to Oswald West so plan for a long round trip or drop a car at the Oswald West parking lot.

This is the favorite surf spot only a 3 min drive south from our cabin. It's stunning and quite a hangout during the summer months. You can also hike here from our cove if you take the trail on Falcon Cove Rd near the hwy but it's a 3 hour hike (even though it's only 3min drive!) It's really amazing view of different types of forests, old growth, cliffs, etc.
