This coastal path is incredibly quiet and blessed with great views. At most you will meet joggers and dog-sitter while walking towards the lighthouse.

Hiking

This is a real landmark when hiking along the shore. You can already see it from far away, then it disappears from view and shows up again. Once you’re finally there, you can enjoy a well maintained lighthouse on high cliffs with the city’s skyline as backdrop. Magnificent!
