Wear sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes
The 384-step descent and ascent are steep with degraded wooden and dirt sections that become slippery with sand.
Bring plenty of water for the hike back
The uphill trek takes 25-30 minutes and is significantly more exhausting than the descent, especially in heat.
