We oldy folks just hiked down to the beach and back. Most of the way the forest isn't that attractive, having been logged not that long ago. (The forest on the way to Second Beach is much older and knarlier.) Only near the beach old growth forest with big tree appears.
March seems to be a great time to hike here: few (less than 6) cars at the trailhead. In summer parking had been impossible.
The trail has a fair number of mud holes which are no big deal. The access to the beach through the log jam also proved to be easy. The last stretch of the trail down to the beach is in concerning conditions, however. Gravity and erosion are working to make it disappear. For trail conditions, bring poles.
