Starting from the Surfleet Cove Campground at the end of Surfleet Cove Road, Lincoln National Park, this walk takes you to Spalding Cove. 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 mallee along the coastline between Surfleet Cove and Spalding Cove, offering spectacular coastal views along the way. Both Surfleet Cove and Spalding Cove have white sandy beaches with safe, sheltered waters that are ideal for swimming. The walk begins from the Surfleet Cove Campground, which is suitable for tents, car­a­vans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets. This walk consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, 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.
