Parking
This small widening at the end of Port Hkusam Trail, a short road off Sayward Road, could allow up to about ten cars to park.

Log Bridge
It was a bridge! Now it is a few logs across a wide stream that can be a bit treacherous as wide gaps between them are large enough to fall through.

Trail or Stream-bed
Water runs in the trail almost the whole length, adding to footing difficulty and slipperiness.

High point
At this point the trail is at its high point and goes down in both directions. Be prepared to push back bushes that intrude into the trail regularly. A number have smaller trees have also fallen across the trail.

Ten to twenty minutes after the trail starts to descend, the ocean comes into view.

Shoreline
The black sand and smooth, round black pebble beach is beautiful and decorated with flotsam and jetsam, including log boom edge pieces.

Possible Campsite
Just off the beach and a few meters inland are two flat grassy areas that would make good campsites. I do not know if camping is permitted or overnight parking at the trailhead allowed. There is no signage about either.
