The Cliff Walk is a breathtakingly beautiful run. The trail is approx. 4 miles long with half perfectly paved and the other half (south of Ruggles Ave) Is very rocky and a bit dangerous. Lots of steep cliffs and rocks cover this region, but very runnable and fun. The trail begins off Eastons Beach (First Beach), and stops at the south end of Bellevue Ave.
You pass at your own risk on the walk, which is a public right-of-way over private property. In spots just a couple of feet from the path are abrupt drops of over 70 feet. Wild bushes and weeds often hide this danger. Also, note that poison ivy grows on some areas just off the trail.
