The Bluff Trail is a phenomenal way to experience the environmental richness of American Camp. The trail traverses high, sandy bluffs that overlook the sandy pocket beaches between Grandma's Cove and South Beach. On a hot summer day, the cool ocean breezes and ripe trailing blackberries found on this trail are particularly delightful. Bald eagles are regularly seen on the rocky points that intersperse the bluffs and sometimes orcas can be spotted in the Salish Sea beside the trail. The Coastal Bluffs Trail begins at South Beach and ends just before the final segment of the Grandma's Cove Trail. Visitors can combine it with the South Beach Trail for an easy 2 mile loop that provides stunning views, wildlife opportunities, and an opportunity to get close to the pristine landscapes that bring so many visitors to American Camp.
