On the makai (ocean) side of the trail is the junction with the Coastal Trail. This short (0.3 mi) connector trail leads along the shoreline to the Picnic Area. When you are finished with the tour, consider taking this route back to the visitor center for a change of scenery. 

Along the coastal trail you'll see ancient and historic sites such as the Chief Keawe House site, cattle holding pen, historic salt pans, and the sandy Paumoa beach area.
