Adventure tips

Bring extra waterCoastal sun and wind dry you faster than you think — carry at least 2 liters and a refillable bottle.

Wear shoes that handle sandClosed, breathable shoes or sturdy sandals with straps keep sand out and protect toes during dune walks.

Carry cash for extrasSandboard and quad rentals, small market purchases and tips are usually cash-only in villages along the route.

Time your visit for morning lightEarly departures improve birdwatching at the Tamri estuary and reduce strongest midday winds on the dunes.

Recommended gear

Sturdy walking shoes or closed sandals: Stable footing for sand and rocky coastal paths and to prevent blisters when sand gets inside footwear.
Sun hat and high-SPF sunscreen: Open coast sun can be intense year-round; strong protection prevents sunburn during long exposures.
Refillable water bottle (2–3L capacity): Hydration is crucial on windy coastal days where you may not notice fluid loss.
Light layered jacket or windbreaker: Atlantic winds cool temperatures quickly in mornings and evenings, even on otherwise warm days.
