Ram Head Trail Details

There are two perfect times to hike Ram Head Trail: sunrise and sunset. Ok, three if you throw in a full moon. This trail is accessible by taking the Saltpond Bay Trail to the salt pond, then continuing on the right (westward) trail. A rocky path carries you over a blue cobblestone beach (it's odd but beautiful), past cactus and shrubs, and finally to a point where you'll have great sunrise, sunset, and full moon views.
