GOOD TO KNOW
Practical details
The sandbank is tidal; timing and time on the sand vary. There is no permanent island landing facility. Tell David about swimming ability, seafood allergies and dietary needs. Snorkelling is only included if specifically written into the quote.
Tell me about food preferences, walking pace and access needs when you enquire. We’ll agree any changes to the route and price before you confirm.
