Such an inspiring and beautiful walk around the nature reserve. Plenty of seals barking down on the shoreline and rocks below! They have a nice life!! May even get to see a shark swimming below in the ocean from the top of the trail if you get lucky!! Did the 9.4 kilometer route, all the way across the sand dune and back onto the trail on the other side. I believe the shorter walk is where you turn right at the start of the sand dune and head downward toward the seashore.

I would definitely recommend bringing binoculars for the seals, and snacks for a break either at the point or at the beach stretching from sea to sea. The walk itself is so scenic and tranquil and the beach beautiful and exclusive. We went between 12 and 6 and it was truly an...
