During it’s whole length it is sandwiched in between the ocean and the mountains and you will pass from several sandy beaches and, with a bit of luck, be able to spot some whales. Parking bays to stop can be found all along the route, there are cliffpath-walks, hiking trails and other activities to engage during your trip which include paragliding, shark cage diving, sand boarding, deep sea diving and much more.
