Check tide times – this is a nice low tide walk to blow away a few cobwebs? Make sure you allow plenty of time to get back up off the shoreline before the tide returns.

Its a long one, with steps and climbs – only for surefooted walkers.

Start on Bleakhouse and walk towards Eastern Beach where you walk through some of Macleans Reserve down to the shore. Eastern Beach is one of the region’s most spectacular and excellent for swimming and water sports.

With plenty of interesting rock formations, high cliffs, and some bouldering this walk will keep you interested. Steep stairs take you back up to road level at Shelly Park Cruising Club.

Our Tip:

Take water and a snack as it is a long walk with no close shops to buy refreshments en route. A walking pole could be helpful.

Things to do nearby:

You could head up to Howick Village at the end of the walk and take a well deserved rest and refreshments.
