Inland Track

Starting from the car park on Rocky Cape Road, Rocky Cape National Park, this walk takes you over the Cathedral, Saddleback and Sisters hills, past the Tinkers and Spicers lookouts and down to Sisters Beach. This scenic walk winds its way inland across the park over gentle heath-covered hills, revealing stunning coastal views before reaching the beach. The track is a mix of sand, pebbles and dirt, with some sections that may be steep, rocky, wet or overgrown. The walk can be extended with side trips to Doone Falls, Broadview Hill and Anniversary Bay. You can leave a car at either end, arrange a lift from the finishing point or return via the same route. 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.
