About The Tidal Trail

Distance: About 8-9Km's over varied terrain, some areas are rocky, others beautiful open sandy beaches

Time: 4-5 hours: Including numerous rest stops, dolphin and whale watching, breakfast on the beach and exploring.

Trails are run in the mornings when the conditions are at their best, the exact times and dates are very reliant on the tides (we must walk the trail on an outgoing tide to avoid being unable to cross certain stretches) - Click here for Bookings, info about the tides and possibility of doing the trail on your preferred date
