Due to the nature of the seabed, this walk will pass over uneven, and sometimes unstable sand and gravel. Seaweed and rocks may be slippery, and participants will need to be able to walk through tidal streams and pools, and keep up a sustained walking pace to and back from this remote spot, to remain ahead of the tide.
