Dettagli

Accesso

The Ellen Cove Boardwalk is an easy walk along a boardwalk and sealed path from Ellen Cove towards Albany. You can park at Middleton Beach, where the trail starts. Click on the P in the map for directions or coordinates. The trail (3,5 km one way, 7 km there and back) has great ocean views the whole way along. It passes by Rotary Lookout, Whale Head Rock, the Lighthouse Keepers House and Kamal Ataturk Monument. There are pathways leading down to rocky vantage points or up to lookouts. The whole walk is on shared paths with cyclists, so please keep left. If you are lucky you will see whales out in the bay. Good idea to bring a jacket as it can be cold.
