What to expect
You'll follow established trails hugging the coastline, moving between beaches and abandoned mining sites. The guide shares detailed context on how the landscape was shaped by extraction work and points out ruins and period structures. Pace is flexible—swimmers can rest at any of the five stops whilst others explore. Terrain ranges from easy beach walks to moderate cliff-edge sections; the route avoids steep scrambling but demands sure footing in places.
