Jacobs Ladder Walkway

Overview

Jacobs Ladder Walkway is located in about the middle of Onetangi beach, between 4th Ave and 6th Ave, if this was a road it would be 5th Ave. But too steep for that. So I see it just staying a path for the foreseeable future.

The walkway can be accessed from either end but only the bottom has good parking.

Walkway Summary

The walkway is not that long, but it is riddled with steps so it can be quite hard if you don’t have a good level of fitness. We counted about 160 steps, but lost count in the heat.

It has a nice lookout with a chair about half way up the hill.

We rate it a 7/10 difficulty with the main hard bit is the steps and hills. If you are going from the top to the bottom its not too bad. Maybe 4/10 difficulty.
