PRACTICAL INFO:

Difficulty level: hard

Road surface: Rocky beaches, grassy/reedy coastal sections, gravel roads, asphalt, forest trails, occasionally algae washed ashore (algae scum)

Good to know: The sandstone outcrops are composed of an unconsolidated and unstable material, which is why it is not safe to approach them from the top and the bottom or to crawl into the caves washed out by the waves.
