Very loose gravel and lots of rocks. More on the intermediate side than easy. Nav had a hard time showing the way.

Very nice pedestrian wooden bridge crossing over the water that connects the East and West Lagoon. The area around the bridge is very wooded, but you can still get a small view of the lagoons.

Great view of the East Lagoon. The around the water is normally very quiet, so it is a great place to sit in the grass, enjoy the view and take a break.
