Cape Donington to September Beach
1.1 km
Oneway

Walk
15 min to 30 min

Starting from the Cape Donington Lighthouse at the end of Donington Road, Lincoln National Park, this walk takes you to September Beach. Lincoln National Park is a rugged peninsula that boasts some of the most scenic coastlines in South Australia, with granite headlands, sheltered bays, sandy beaches and offshore islands, featuring an exten­sive net­work of walk­ing trails that pass through native scrub and wood­land, across beach­es and along clifftops where visitors may spot sea-eagles, dolphins or whales. The park encompasses the vast Sleaford-Wanna sand dune system and the beautiful Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area, protecting important coastal vegetation of the Eyre Peninsula and providing habitat for rare fauna such as heath goannas, western whipbirds and the bush stone-curlew. This relatively short and easy walk is ideal for families, meandering through coastal heath and across sandy beaches along the coastline between Cape Donington and September Beach, offering excellent views of Donington Island, which is home to Australian sea lions and long-nosed fur seals. Western grey kangaroos, emus and goannas can often be spotted near the Cape Donington Lighthouse, a 32 metres high hexagonal tower built in 1905. Both Donington Beach and September Beach have safe, sheltered waters that are ideal for swimming. The walk ends at the September Beach Campground, which is suitable for tents, car­a­vans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets and fire pits. This walk consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, sandy surfaces and steps, suitable for most fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. 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.
