THE ROUTE

A coastline you don’t usually see

Explore the rugged Start Point shore from sea level and the cliff edges, moving where walkers rarely go — scrambling, wading and making multiple cliff jumps as part of the guided route.

WILDLIFE

Plenty of coastal wildlife

Guides keep an eye out for abundant seabirds and, with luck, marine mammals — seals or even dolphins are occasional sightings along this stretch of coast.

LOCAL TASTE

Try spaghetti seaweed on the shore

The trip even includes a chance to sample local shore fare: guides may offer spaghetti seaweed as a quirky, coastal treat during the outing.
