    An easy 2-mile trail out and back trail will bring you to both an excellent Beach as well as the famous ocean lawn with amazing expansive views. You will also pass a saltwater pond, and some nice rhododendron plant and mountain laurel along the way. Be cautious of the large quantity of goose droppings on the ocean lawn.
  • By Andre Kurlovs
    It's a wooded area with a pond that leads to a lawn in front of a rocky beach. The lawn and the beach are the crown jewel of the place and are open Fri-Mon.
  • By Marco Romeny
    It's a beautiful park where you can get a glimpse of some very interesting architecture. When the leaves come off in the autumn, you can even see the late Michael Graves' spectacular house from the Magnolia beach. Well worth a walk at any time of the year for the views and serenity.
  • By Marcelo Oliveira
    What a beautiful place, short hikes and the always pleasant ocean view
  • By Kelly Silveira
    Outstanding! Short hike to large lawn, great for picnics, with gorgeous views of rocky shoreline. Such a hidden treasure! Can also access small beach. Or hike uphill to rocky outcropping for nice peek of harbor.
