My favorite place. It's huge! And old naval base with old abandoned buildings, now turned into huge grassy fields with trails. Then the trails go through some beautuful cliff side woods, down to the shore, where you can see seals and bald eagles. Go to the South Parking lot off Emerson. The just pick a trail and start heading towards the water.
