Off a secluded path near Main Beach once stood the Sea Spray Inn, a grand, rambling symbol of summer, until a February 1978 fire burned it to the ground.

If it's been a while since you hiked to the Cedar Point Lighthouse (built 1868), you haven't seen the impressive reconstruction project going on there.

The plan is to hike out on the windy Gardiner's Bay side of the spit and return on the sheltered Northwest Harbor side. We won't be in the woods or grass, but guard against ticks anyway. Spray for mosquitoes. Wear a good hat and sunscreen. Carry water.
