Eastern Beach To Little Bucklands
The Bucklands Beach peninsular is pretty spectacular with incredible views, and great swimming.
This walk is all along the beach/coastline so can only be done at low tide – so do time it well so you can enjoy it fully. You will see some really interesting geological formations from volcanic activity and strata in the cliffs, as well as the unfortunate results of weather activity and erosion to private property.
