Bring sun and wind protection
The coast is exposed—pack a windproof layer, sunglasses and broad sun protection even on cool days.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person; rest on shaded forest tracks before tackling dune climbs.

Dunes and nesting areas are fragile—follow guide directions and avoid trampling vegetation to help preserve the landscape.
