Ascencion hiking trails

Coming from Willemstad, right before Plantation house Ascencion, there is a dirtroad, at the right hand side, to Ascencion Bay. (Look for a red and white barrier. Road is open during the day)


Several hiking trails (watch for wooden signs, at both sides of the road) that cross this dirtroad. 
At the bay, there a is parking / picnic place.



Walking back towards the main road, there is a trail at the right hand side that leads to the other side of the bay. From there, a trail leads to the coast, along the bay.




One can choose to hike around the hills and start back to Ascencion, or follow the coast (in the North West direction) all the way to Patrick or Barber.



From the bay, there is also a trail that starts with a wooden ladder. That trail follows the coast (in the South West direction) all the way to San Pedro.

There are round trails in the Ascencion area too. The trails have names, on wooden signs.






Ascencion bay is a great spot for birdwatchers.
