Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes as the trail surface can become uneven or slippery near cliff edges.
Bring wind-resistant layers, as the coastal breeze remains cool even on sunny days.
Ensure your camera has a zoom lens to better capture the seabirds nesting on the offshore rock formations.
Do not attempt to scramble down the cliffs outside of marked paths, as the rock faces are unstable and prone to erosion.
Stay within the marked wooden paths to protect the fragile cliff-top flora and respect local nesting zones.
