Unlike the previous morning when it was overcast, the sun was out early
today. We took advantage by going on a short hike to
Mystic Beach.
After we returned to Point No Point, I decided to explore the trails inside
the resort. I had been a bit spooked by the circular lawn near the beach
house, where paths fanned out in 5 different directions. It reminded me
of being inside the computer game Myst. Well, it turns out that two of
those paths lead to bathrooms. But I took a picture anyway.

Mystical Point No Point
I didn't find anything too exciting. It was quite nice exploring the trails
in solitude. That solitude made me a bit nervous when I reached the bridge to
Point No Point. The point itself is basically a big rock, about 30 feet from
the mainland. The bridge crosses about 30 or 40 feet above the waters below.
The bridge is perfectly safe, but did I mention I'm scared of heights?
In any case, the view from the point isn't that great. Most of the view is
just water. A better view can be had from near a red bench at the northern
end of the trail system. From there, you can see the entire crescent of
beaches leading up to the point.
