Good to know
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Carry water and sun protection—the coastal exposure means little shade and summer heat can be intense. Winter and spring (June–October) are most comfortable. Wear sturdy shoes or walking sandals for coastal paths. Check conditions after heavy rain. Best visited early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat.
