North coast trail

Walking the cliff edge with turquoise water always below.

Best time
Morning
Area
North coast
Duration
3–4 h
Difficulty
Moderate

Between the northern fishing villages there are stretches of old path running along the clifftop. You walk the edge, through sea grape and scrub, looking down into coves nobody goes to. There is no signage and no facilities, and that is exactly why it is one of the island’s finest walks.
