Here's something to see: a giant crack in the ground! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood to see some interesting geological formations... just watch your step!

Nice view overlooking the beach and you get to see a chasm which is pretty cool too.

You might miss this, even if you go to the beach and stare right at it. The chasm is a glacial cleft that's about 10 feet wide and 50 feet deep. But with every great spot in town, there is a story behind that chasm. One story says that the devil made the chasm when he was chopping off the head of a Native American Maiden who he was unhappy with.
