Bernardi Beach

Highlight • Beach

If you want to go long on this section, you should stay on the beach and walk through the sand. A wall running past the beach behind is difficult to overcome. Otherwise you can also rent surfboards here.

Great adventure with the kids. Hiked and climbed along the rocky coast for a day. Great performance from both of them. But now everyone is exhausted 😄
