Foreshore Walk
Walking track

From the right hand end of the main car park this easy (but often windswept) track is great for an evening or winter walk to blow away the cobwebs. Follow the yellow markers and discover the local history of the area through information panels along the way. This track will take you across open pasture to the foreshore, where birds roost on the rocks and on the small shelly beaches and gather food from the mud flats at low tide. There are plenty of lookout points on the way. Then return back to the car park.
