If you want to get to the ocean and beach, this is not the ideal trail for that. You have to duck under and cross a log on Sutton creek to get to the trail that leads to the beach. This crossing is not even possible when the creek is running high. There is alot of walking up and down Dunes beyond the creek crossing so be prepared to get sand in your shoes and allow for plenty of travel time as walking in soft sand is slow. There are alot more trails along the coast that take you to the beach or ocean views.
There is a trail through the woods the opposite direction but does NOT provide breathtaking views but does get you out in nature. There are bathroom facilities at the trailhead.
Very agile joggers do use this trail so keep your ears and eyes open for fast moving humans on the trail.
There is no dog poop bag station so be sure to bring your own bags.

A pretty enjoyable small hike. I will say at the time my group was looking for something smaller before heading back to Eugene, and this trail felt much longer than I had expected. From the map I’d guessed a mile but I believe my phone said 2.8 at the time so idk the map might be a little off.
The trail is very shaded which makes it great for the summer. And if you’re one to stop and take breaks throughout, there’s a lot of benches at points to do so. The roots on the trail path definitely aren’t the worst I’ve seen, and at some points create neat steps to make an otherwise smooth incline more like a stair. For large stretches the roots are absent.
We did have a dog with us who took near every opportunity possible to go down into the shallower creek off the trail. About twice there were moments he stepped down into it, but did struggle to get back on the trail. Luckily he’s pretty strong so he eventually did it.

The trail begins with the creek and moderate inclines/declines. Once you leave the creek and head into the dunes it is pretty much a cardio workout. For the adventerous bring your sandboard.
