If you fancy a break in the dunes with a lovely view of the sea then jump off the bike and head up the dunes to gain a brilliant perspective on the open ocean.

Pedaling along the road with the sand dunes towering up above you, it might be easy to miss the beach. Hop off your bike and take the path to the southwest for wonderful view of this breathtaking beach. It is a great spot for watching sunsets and surfers, but please be aware that swimming is not advised due to the strong currents.
