Choose our most popular tour: Visit Soley Cove to see red sandstone cliffs shaped by wind and tides over millions of years. This area is popular with photographers, those interested in earth science and families alike.
We will walk along a red sand and pebble-covered beach to find sea caves, "flowerpot" rock formations, and coastal waterfalls. The landscape here changes frequently due to rapid erosion, providing a clear look at the effects of the climate and tides.
