Beacon 19 Boat Ramp Boardwalk

The Beacon 19 Boat Ramp Boardwalk is a return walk starting from the Beacon 19 car park in Goolwa South. This walk takes you through the sand dunes via a singular boardwalk (parts of the boardwalk can be buried or displaced). Expect panoramic views of both the Goolwa Channel and the ocean. Take a dip in the water if you feel like it, or just sunbathe for a bit. You can also launch your boat from the ramp after the walk and enjoy the waters of The Coorong. Heaps of nesting birds, crabs, and pipis/cockles reside in the area. Staying on track will help plant growth and will keep weeds from spreading. Heed the local signs and keep an eye out for currents and rips. 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.

Safer Bushwalks
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
