Information

Pipi Walk

2 km return | 30 minutes return

This pleasant walk through coastal beech forest follows the initial stages of the Nydia tramping track. Pipi Beach is a sheltered tranquil spot. The small shingle beach is rimmed with pipi shells. Relatives of the former occupants obviously thrive in the clear shallow waters nearby. This is a superb spot for a picnic and swim.
