What to expect
The walk follows sandy ground with gentle undulation through coastal dune and beach areas. Footing is soft underfoot—wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip. The path is moderately exposed to sun and wind; shade is limited. Signposting should guide you around the loop clearly. Expect salt-spray and ocean breeze typical of the WA south coast.
Good to know
Carry water, especially in warmer months (Oct–Apr). The sandy surface can be tiring; allow extra time if conditions are soft. Sun protection is essential—hat and sunscreen recommended. Summer brings bushfire risk; check local conditions before visiting. Best walked in autumn and spring for comfortable temperatures.
