Satch74 is right - you turn left into a little dead-end parking area. There's a white gate with a lock and low, cinder block wall that you have to climb over (easy). From there you're on an asphalt road most of the way to Happy Bay. We saw a few cows when we were out there and a couple of people, once in a while, but never had a problem. The walk is easy and open all the way --- just keep going straight until you see the water.

Oh - we left our car by the low wall with the doors unlocked and trunk empty. No problems.
