Itinerary description
This is the running of the coastline between Grotto Bay and Yzerfontein in one go, self-supported. This track starts at the West Coast town of Grotto Bay and ends at Yzerfontein in a northerly direction, but can be traversed in a southerly direction.
It may be possible to walk the entire length of this beach in one day, however one would need to start early depending on how fast one walks.
Be sure to carry sufficient water, sunhat, sunscreen and food as it is a remote coastline and there is no shelter or water. Cell phone coverage seems to be consistent. Difficult underfoot with soft sand especially in the northern section, as well as a camber most of the way, one will be able to witness a wide variety of animal life.
