Distance: four and a half miles
Difficulty: Moderate, mostly flat
Much used as a film location, this marine sedimentary basin has amazing land formations. Here you can walk on what millions of years ago was the sea bed. Learn about the geology of the region and see plant life that can survive with little water. See the ghoulishly named parasitic plant dead man's fingers Cynomorium coccineum - which looks like something out of a horror movie, oleander, sea lavender, tamarisk and the pretty purple mistress, also known as violet cabbage.
