Fantastic walking trail by the seaside, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere with vast expanses of lush greenery. Unfortunately, beach access was hindered by erosion. Tranquil and serene location, welcoming dog owners, charming cafes, and amiable strollers in the park. Enjoy a stunning beach view from the park.

On a beautiful sunny spring day, this shoreline can be absolutely stunning. Extending a good distance (heading in a northerly direction from the cafe) for a pleasant stroll along the beach. The sand is quite solid near the water. The view at the conclusion is lovely, where a section of the Barron River flows into the Coral Sea. This location exudes tranquility. It's delightful to observe people leisurely walking with their canine companions as well.
