The path winds its way through alternating sandy beaches and wooded stretches.
The highlight is the view over Ispe Bay, a breathtaking panorama of calm waters. A little further on, an old, restored resin-maker's hut stands in memory of a traditional skill: gemmage. This technique, at the heart of local life in days gone by, involved harvesting the precious resin from pine trees.
The way back runs serenely along the beach, completing a harmonious walk between unspoilt nature and the living memory of the area.
- Good to know: bring good shoes, as the trail alternates between undergrowth and sandy sections.
