Coastal Views

Coastal Trail

There is a concrete pathway for the first section along coastal trail until you reach Dolphin point, then the trail is a well worn dirt track with amazing views along coastline to Hell’s gate.

Tanglewood Trail

Continue past Hell’s gate to the right to join Tanglewood trail. This inland trail is lovely and shady and much quieter than the coastal section. Gives a nice balance when you do both coastal and inland loop. The Tanglewood trail is mostly shady and includes a variety of coastal bush and rainforest.
