To reach the trail take the Harkerville turnoff the N2 close to Plettenberg Bay and follow the signboards to Kranshoek. The trail starts from the picnic area and after meandering for a while along the cliff tops through some indigenous forest it eventually descends steeply down a gorge.

This part of the trail has a profusion of steps constructed to prevent erosion and aid the hiker

Once the rocky shore is reached it is time to take a breather on the pebbly shore. Maybe cast a few stones into the surf or spy on a few crabs as they dart among the rocks.

The trail undulates between the shore line and the cliff tops. Along the way it is worth spending a few minutes reading the interpretive boards so thoughtfully placed by the authorities.

Just as one begins to think that the coastal walk will never end, the trail turns inland along a kloof and it is not long before you are gazing down on the ribbon of pathway that has just been walked. From the cliff top, it is about a 2km walk back to the picnic site and your cars.
