Hello Nancy, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander. There are three walking trails at Greenwich, all start from the Trailhead parking lot. The Greenwich Dunes Trail is a 4.8 km walk (return) with the famous floating boardwalk, views of the parabolic sand dunes, and ends at a beautiful dune lined beach. 

Tlaqtik Trail is also a 4.8 km walk (return) and brings visitors to the St. Peter's Bay side of the Greenwich peninsula with interpretive panels explaing the cultural history of the area. 

For the Greenwich main beach, the beach complex is open until September 2nd and the beach is a short five minute walk from the complex along a wooden boardwalk. 

I hope this helps!

Valerie
