From memory, it's a short stroll to the 2nd viewing platform before the stairs to the beach. The distance from the car park is maybe around 30 metres with a gradual descent. I think the ground may have been decent enough also. I think the stairs have 2 x passing platforms where you can stop or pass etc. I'm guessing there are around 12 stairs between each small platform/landing including the ground so a total of maybe 36 stairs if I remember right. The step height is also quite low. I'll post a pic on my review very soon just so you can see the actual stairs between the top viewing spot/landing and the 1st platform/landing.
