Key Notes
Mix of coastal roads and inland gravel. Best ridden in the early morning before the wind picks up.
A classic loop that combines ocean views with quiet inland gravel tracks.
The Route
Starting from the harbor, head north along the coastal road for 20km. The views are worth the early wake-up call. At the lighthouse, turn inland onto gravel for the bulk of the ride.
Surface Breakdown
- 30% smooth tarmac (coastal sections)
- 50% packed gravel (inland farm tracks)
- 20% loose gravel (the challenging bits)
Best Season
Spring or autumn. Summer gets too hot, and winter storms make the gravel sections unpredictable.
Water Stops
There's a café at km 35 and a village store at km 60. Plan accordingly.
