    Hard-to-walk clip section of sure-footedness and experience needed. Should be avoided when wet. Tides should be taken into account, since at one point the waterline has to be crossed.

      Sometimes it can be difficult to find the little red waymarks. However, if you stick to the marked path, it's just about to be flooded. With some sea water splashes but you should expect and not be frightened by this.

        I found it very tricky and we ended up returning. We couldnt cross at one point as the tide was so high that not only you would have gotten wet, the waves were dangerous. Also tricky when wet.

          I felt the same way as the other people on this section of the route. I then found out through a conversation with a local that the tour on the coast can only be done at low tide. It is not surprising that with a tidal range of a good 2m there are problems with high water. Should be observed, otherwise otherwise really life-threatening!

              The path along the cliff is well-marked throughout. There are one or two places where you have to scramble and use your hands. I walked it at low tide without any problems.
