Very scenic, easy trail, but the windchill can be an issue. Can also be very slippery so take care along the rocks.

This is a great evening hike... Most of the trail that I followed lies along the rugged coastline so be careful. It is very easy to slip off the rocks and get hurt really badly in this area, or worst, fall into the sea.....

I enjoyed it... Easy enough to do and close enough to the city..
