There will be a couple of options for this hike.  The first is a shorter hike of about 5 miles, across the dunes, to the beach and back.  This can be shortened even more by turning around before the beach.

The longer hike will be a 9 mile total hike to the beach on the John Dellenback Dune Trail then south along the beach  and return across the dunes from near 10 mile creek.  This is a spectacular but very difficult hike in loose sand if it doesn’t rain prior to the hike.  Dress in layers, bring plenty of water and lunch and plan on 5 hours to complete the hike.

The difficulty of both of these hikes comes from walking in loose sand...and the occasional steeper climbs up some dunes.
