A coastal walk with sparse cover but sweeping views, the erosion patterns along this path suggest that creatures of another time may have once built the rocky way. Giant's Stairs & Mcintosh Lot Preserve only consists of a half-mile loop trail that may be considered a short stride for giants, but also an easy sloping pathway for guests. The views reach across the Atlantic Ocean with birds being the main wildlife visitors above the high cliffs that crash with ocean waves, making for a magnificent display of surf on a windy day.
