A very misty and atmospheric walk up Tow Hill for a beautiful view over Rose Spit, North Beach, and Agate Beach.

Here is our intrepid adventure team

The walk through the forest is on a raised platform so visitors don’t disturb the forest floor.  I was very impressed at the posted accessibility information at all the walking trails in Naikoon park.

Big, windswept trees covered with moss, ferns and mushrooms were everywhere we looked.

As we reached the top of the hill, the air got cool and misty.  I stopped and gulped down big breaths of this fragrant ocean, forest air deep into my lungs.  The forest was quiet, cool and without a doubt, full of magic.

The sun broke through the clouds to give us a glimpse of where the ocean ends and the sky begins on the horizon.
