Gibson steps are not as hard as you think. From the top you will have a beautiful view of the ocean and 2 pillars, if you descend the 86 steps you will reach the beach, where you can look closely at the 2 giant limestone pillars Gog and Magog. Dion and myself walked along the beach, it was beautiful and not too busy. I thought to swim but the wives were pretty strong so l changed my mind...going back up the stairs was easy

The walk down the stairs was easier than expected but the sand is quite soft making walking hard work. Never the less Gog and Magog are very very impressive up close.
