Three miles down to the beach from the trailhead near mile marker 5 on Centerline Road, past Danish sugar plantation ruins, stone cattle-grazing walls, pre-Columbian Taino rock carvings and some of the oldest and tallest trees on St. John. NPS describes it as strenuous, with steep, uneven, and rocky terrain and a long uphill return; check current trail conditions directly with NPS before setting out.
