Castaways Beach to Sunrise Beach Trail

Highlights

The trail begins at Castaways Beach, access path 41. There is a car park located at this point in addition to tables and toilet facilities.

The track runs parallel to the beach with a number of dedicated, secluded beach access points available for those looking to test the water or take advantage of the beautiful 180 degree coastal view. As the path rises there are several vantage points to view the coastline or maybe even a kite surfer or two. Those walking between July and October may even spot some Humpback Whales on their annual migration north.

The turnaround point is Sunrise Beach. There is also a car park located at this point for those waiting on a pick up or the trail can be flipped to utilise this as the starting point. This space also features picnic tables, some with a magnificent view of the beach.

The trail is approximately 40 minutes’ walk one way.
