Starting from the Waitpinga Campground off Dennis Road, Waitpinga, this walk takes you to Waitpinga Beach and back via the Campground to Beach Hike. This short, moderately easy walk follows a section of the Heysen Trail to Waitpinga Beach, a picturesque unpatrolled beach in Newland Head Conservation Park. From the campground, the walk follows a partial boardwalk trail across the park's rolling sand dunes towards Waitpinga Beach, then follows a wooden walkway down to the sand, offering spectacular views of the Southern Ocean. The beach is popular for surfing and fishing but isn't suitable for swimming due to the high waves and strong rips. Walkers are asked to remain on the designated pathway to protect the sand dunes and native vegetation. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails with uneven natural surfaces, sandy surfaces and boardwalk sections, and is suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
