Enjoyable hike not too challenging. Young and fairly fit we managed to finish in 4 hours took just under two hours each way. It is probably one of the most clear paths I’ve hiked across aus and you are easily able to see the way, there’s no markers along the way so you don’t know how far you’ve come except at the first 1.5km mark and the last few hundred. It’s a very clear path there is no climbing over rocks or scaling sections it’s a pretty easy walk for an inexperienced hiker. Starts off with a reasonable ascent for the first 1.5km to the first lookout, this is a decent view so you could finish here. Continues pretty flat and then you go downhill for 3km there is a number of steps in this section and our return trip was slow through here. Then flattens out again and is largely flat until a small incline in the end. We were lucky with a cool clear day there’s large section of covered walk for about 4km then the final section is exposed. The view was beautiful and you can see lots of seals from the seal lookout!

The hike to the bluff and down to the rocky beach is fantastic. Interesting rock formations and cliffs!

Not really a cave’s person but this blew me away. Involves a number of steps to walk down and retreat from the site but definitely worth the effort. This geological phenomenon takes you to a viewing platform at the rear of the cave and depending on the tide the cave will either be empty providing magical views of the ocean on a sunny day or will be filled with water at high tide. At low tide it is possible to climb down and walk through to the beach, though caution is required.

We only had time to venture to Crescent Bay and return but found this to be a great experience with some very impressive and rugged coastal scenery along the way. The track is very well prepared and maintained and the relatively easy walk to the scenic beach and impressive sand dunes at Crescent Bay are well worth the modest effort.
