More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind carries salt and grit as the road drops from the coastal highway toward the dunes—golden slopes rising against a blue Atlantic backdrop. You step from the van, straps click, and the guide points down the face: soft, wind-sculpted sand that gives under your boots and begs to be ridden. Waves crash on the rocks below; the dunes feel like a desert that meets the sea.

Bring a wide water bottle
Desert-like sun and coastal wind dehydrate you quickly—carry at least 1.5 liters per person for the half-day tour.
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip
Sandboarding requires short walks over loose sand and rocky approaches to viewing points—sturdy shoes protect ankles and toes.
Protect your camera and phone
Fine sand and salt spray can damage electronics—use a ziplock or dry bag and wipe lenses after each run.
Time your run for softer sand
Early morning and late afternoon yield firmer, less wind-blown sand and better light for photos.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide traction on sand and protection on rocky approaches.
Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses)
Coastal sun and reflective sand increase UV exposure—protect skin and eyes.
