Sunshine Coast Council

A beautiful waterside walk including a mangrove boulevard.

SUITABILITY
This walk is suitable for families and all ages as well as recreational cyclists.

HIGHLIGHTS
At Nancy Cato Park there is suitable street parking and a huge open green space with covered picnic tables. The track begins along the side of Weyba Creek and follows Weyba Rd past a number of local cafes, specialty shops and an AFL ground. Walkers who time their journey well can stop at the AFL ground for weekly food markets, perfect for lunch supplies, an afternoon treat or just a simple refreshment from one of the many artisanal stalls. Towards the bridge over Weyba Creek lies the Mangrove Boardwalk, a dedicated timber pathway loop exploring the mangrove river bed. This dedicated walk provides walkers with an educational close up view of the fertile mudflats which support such local wildlife as kingfishers, herons, osprey and a range of mud crabs and marine life. The turnaround point is Leslie Park, a small forest conservation area. Walkers can return via the original route or take Weyba Rd for a slightly quicker return.

AFTERWARDS
Stop in at one of the cafes, specialty shops or the market on dedicated days. With such a wonderful selection of hospitality and a number of perfect stopping points, the morning, afternoon or whole day can easily slip by!
