What to expect
A well-formed shared path running parallel to Cape Naturaliste Road with moderate, mostly even gradient. Surfaces are sealed, designed for bikes and pedestrians. Minimal shade along the open coastal stretch; exposure to sun and occasional wind is typical. Clear signposting guides you towards the cape. Ten minutes each way at a steady pace.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
- Waymarked route
Carry water, especially in warmer months—the exposed path offers little shelter. Summer heat and bushfire risk apply; check conditions before riding. Standard bike maintenance helps on sealed paths. Spring wildflowers line the route. Dunsborough car parks serve the trailhead; arrive early on weekends.
