This is a pleasant coastal walk from a carpark at the
eastern end of Clifton Beach. Beyond the carpark the road is gated, but it can
be walked to the Shearwater (Muttonbird) lookout. The nicer way is to take the track to Clifton
Beach then walk along it towards Cape Deslacs where there is a walking track
leading up to the platform. From the platform backtrack to the road and take a
bush track that goes gently up to the clifftops. The track then follows the cliff
line, passing a junction then reaching a style.
It is worth going over this and along to the views of a square hole in
the cliff can be seen (5 minutes along and 200 metres). A further 500 metres along (10 minutes) gives
good views back along the cliffs of Cape Deslacs. You can continue further but it is not as nice
to walk and turning around and heading back is probably the better choice.
Go back to the junction and a turn down the sandy track
through untouched bush leads to the carpark.
