Know Before You Go:

AWD necessary; it is possible to also pay locals with trucks to drive you to the beach at the start of the trail.
Either drive along the road with a high clearance vehicle or hike along the unpaved, rocky roads that cars are driving on.
Be prepared to hike under the sun for the entire duration along the coast.
Hike time can be shortened to 1 hour by driving an AWD vehicle.
