The route is described as follows:
""The whole route is mainly on sand with some shingle, birds and the occasional seal as your companions. You will be walking near the foot of the impressive sand cliffs of Bride and Shellag Point, deposited thousands of years ago by glaciers of the ice age. Don’t go too close as they are actively eroding but enjoy the patterns in the sand and the underlying clay.
On the beach you will water-worn lumps of granite, sandstone, limestone, small pieces of flint and other rocks carried here from Ireland, Scotland, and England by the glaciers. Gradually Maughold Head, Ramsey and North Barrule come closer into view, and you reach Ramsey and its North Promenade.
Take time to explore Mooragh Park, Ramsey Harbour and the town itself."
