Starting from the car park across the bridge at the end of Cockle Street, Southwest National Park, this walk takes you to South Cape Bay. Beginning at Australia's southernmost street, this walk forms the relatively gentler eastern end of the challenging South Coast Track. The trail passes through forests, marshlands and coastal heathlands with abundant wildflowers, ending at the edge of a cliff overlooking South Cape, Lion Rock and the ocean. If conditions allow, you can head down the steps onto the beach and walk towards the creek at the far end, where campgrounds and toilets are located. The trail is extensively duckboarded and has mostly gentle slopes, but some sections are muddy, rocky and overgrown. Take care along the cliffs and near the water's edge, as the beach is known for having dangerous rips. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
