Call the water taxi to take you from the East side of the Inlet to the West side. Once on the West side you can walk about 20-25 minutes (30-45 minutes with kids [remember mine are 2.5, 4, and 5] if you’re lucky) following the signs to Brady’s Beach down a dirt road, up and down hills, and when you get to a big beautiful tall structure labeled “Brady Loo” you know you’ve made it. Walk out onto the picturesque beach and enjoy the sea stacks, sandy beach, and tidepools.
