Stick to designated paths as basalt columns can be slippery when wet. Visitor facilities include multi-language interpretation, and staff are extensively trained in visitor safety. For emergencies dial 999 or 112. The causeway stones are accessible at all tide levels, though some peripheral areas may be limited during extreme high tides.
