The hike to Petite Cayes is worth it if you are looking for an isolated beach with few, if any, people. The hike in from the dump is easier than the hike from Ansel Marcel. The parking at the dump trail head just seams sketchy. It is not a formal parking lot, it more of a shoulder on dirt road. Where Ansel Marcel is a well maintained parking lot. We have never had problem with vandalism or theft at either trail head. Of course we never leave anything of value in the car and leave it unlocked.
