Itinerary description
It’s a linear trail which needs return back. The 2nd part of the trail is the most beautiful as it goes along the white cliff with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea. At the end of the trail you may go to sea shore and see the famous Dog's Beach.
My phone 's battery died along the way, so I recorded only one-way.
TERRAIN: About half the way goes along dirt road then you have to turn to a narrow rocky path which has some alerting parts, thus it’s not recommended to go with little kids, I guess starting from 6-7 yo should be Ok. Plus constant ascending on the way back with some steep parts adds to the difficulty.
One can walk the trail the other way around in order to ease it a bit and do ascending in the beginning and on the way back descending.
SEASON: The trail is good for hike in winter/early spring as it’s exposed to the sun. However one should be very cautious after the rains as the path becomes muddy and slippery.
SIGNS: Nowadays the trail is marked almost good but still some places are not well defined with signs. As additional help for orientation look for the small plastic QR codes identifying plants species. On the way back the signs marking the trail are more identifiable.

Really scenic hike and the white rocks was an unexpected bonus. We had the luck to be alone on the beach and really enjoyed it. Since it's pretty exposed, more water is recommended. Thank you for the hike details!
