It’s 6.5 miles to the beach and back and was a great walk. I would say much of it was a hike, but it was nice to have the waterfall as a pit stop on the way. It’s mid May and no horse flies, nor am I sure when they show up. I recommend a late morning jaunt.
I know that looking at my three-star rating of that popular place you think to yourself “What’s wrong with her? Everybody loves Chapel Beach”, but let me explain why I didn’t like it. In the beginning I was really impressed with the stunning view of the Chapel Rock tree. I was looking at it from the water (we had kayaking tour) and decided that we need to explore that place again. On foot. So we did it and it was disappointing experience. The trail was long, easy and… boring. There were just a couple of attractive spots like a waterfall and a hidden lake. The Chapel Rock tree was incredible but it looked more impressive from the waterside than from the land. As for the beach… we hoped we can swim there but it was absolutely impossible because of HORSEFLIES. There were a billion of them there. They stung us non-stop not even taking into consideration that we had used off-spray before we stepped in their beach. So we receded as soon as possible leaving the battlefield for them. As a result that place is not the Chapel Beach for me anymore. Now I call it the Horsefly Beach.
Love this beach probably one of my favorites! For sure a hidden gem well worth the hike! Could be a little bigger but luckily when we went there wasn't way to many people so we got to really enjoy it. Love that there is a waterfall here and of course the fact that you can still chapel rock from here. Water was perfect, ya gotta check it out :)
Picked this up as part of our 11 mile loop hike on 5/18/21. Trail was mostly fine. There are some muddy sections to hike around, and some downed trees to negotiate. Beautiful green spring growth and flowers along the way. Chapel Falls and Chapel Rock are an added bonus.
Wow it was a bit of a hike to get here but seriously loved this place, and let me say it was worth the also gorgeous hike. Make sure you have some water and snacks but the beach was STUNNING, sunk in amongst the cliffs and the water was so clear, and nice and cool. It was so gorgeous and honestly I’d do it all over again...with maybe a lighter pack next time! Haha If you can go, do it!
