Stretching along narrow cliffs and volcanic rock formations, the trail offers sweeping ocean views, hidden coves, and vibrant plant life adapted to the harsh coastal winds. Each step reveals new perspectives of the deep blue Atlantic and the jagged peninsula. This moderately challenging hike is perfect for adventurers seeking a mix of natural beauty, fresh sea air, and unforgettable panoramas at every turn. Make sure to start early too secure your car parking spot and beat the crowd.
