Okay people, this is a great one!!

Gunnamatta Ocean Beach is renowned for its epic surf, but Parks Victoria offers some truly epic coastal tracks that are worth exploring! You’ll be captivated by the rugged coastline and incredible views of surfers riding the waves. While there’s some sand walking on this trek, the reward is worth the effort, after all, we love to add a touch of endurance to our hikes. It's not overly intense, but enough to work up a bit of a sweat. Expect a mix of challenging terrain, serene coastal shrubs, and narrow, winding trails.

If you're thinking of joining solo, don’t worry most of our hikers do! We’d love to have you with us!

We will commence our trek from Gunnamatta Ocean Beach in the direction of St Andrews Beach. We will complete a total of 10-12km’s on sand and trail hiking. This is a return trip!
