Really nice trail along the coast. You could bring a buggie but it might need to be collapsed to get through the first part and getting up the step would be tough. You can avoid that by parking in the cafe car park instead of the harbour car park. There is a lovely looking cafe right at the start of the trail but it wasn’t open but I attached a picture of their menu.
