The Ford Cove to Shingle Spit Trail winds through forested terrain from Ford Cove to the ferry-landing area at Shingle Spit, following the coastline and staying mostly level, making it suitable for hiking or casual cycling. Along the way, you pass wooded hillsides, small bridges over gullies and streams, and near the halfway point, a seasonal waterfall. There are plenty of breathtaking views of the channel and surrounding islands, making this path the perfect mix of forest and coastal scenery.
