The Tennessee Valley Trail is a great way to experience nature and the beach simultaneously. The trail is approximately 1.75 miles long and is definitely worth the trek. Beach enthusiasts will appreciate the various types of beach sections and the surrounding rocks, including small and coarse sand and stones. It's a stunning spot to spend the day, and during low tide, you can explore the areas behind the massive rocks. There is also a pond nearby where you can see ducks and geese. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on this trail. There are two ways to get to the beach: one involves climbing a hill, while the other is the Lower Spur trail, which is only open seasonally due to winter closures and high pond water. After walking a half-mile, you will reach a fork in the path. The left trail is flat, while the right-hand trail has a wooden fence and offers fantastic views. If you prefer not to climb, follow the Lower Spur trail, which is easy and flat. However, the final stretch of the trail is steep and rough, so be prepared to carry a stroller if you bring one. Vault toilets are available at the parking lot and near the beach. The parking lot is partially open on weekends due to renovations and fills up quickly. You may need to park elsewhere and walk up to the trailhead, so factor that into your trail length. Additionally, there are trails that lead to Rodeo Beach, which is about a three-mile hike.

The beach has gray sand, and there's a pleasant 4-mile hike from the parking lot to the shoreline and back.
