Walk
Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 2 km
From the right hand end of the main carpark this easy (but often windswept) track is great for an evening or winter walk to blow away the cobwebs. The track leads across open pastures to the foreshore, where birds roost on the rocks and on small shelly beaches and gather food from the mud flats at low tide. Follow the track around the foreshore - there are plenty of lookout points on the way. Return via the farm animals back to the carpark.
Pram friendly: No
