Insider tips

Bring insect repellent as the dense coastal foliage can harbor mosquitoes.

Ensure your vehicle is parked well away from the road shoulder as the viewpoint access paths can be narrow.

Wear sturdy footwear as the path to the vantage point is natural earth rather than paved.

Carry sufficient drinking water as there are no on-site amenities at the viewpoint itself.

What to avoid

Attempting to climb down the rocky cliffs to the water's edge, as the terrain is unstable and can be slippery during high tide.
