This is a brilliant costal walk that will make the most of the low tides on this day.
Join us as we hike along some of the Mornington Peninsula's best beaches and explore the amazing rock pools and beautiful sandstone cliffs and rock formations.
We will first meet at the Gunnamatta car park and then get cosy in half of the cars and head to the starting point at Bush Rangers Bay Car Park .

From there we will start the walk down to Bushrangers Bay and explore Elephant rocks and the beautiful rock pools.
Then we head to Cape Schanck and take the broad walk down to Pulpit Rock and Black Rock Beach before heading to Fingal Beach via the cliff top track.

This area again is wonderful at low tide with some beautiful view points before we get down to more great rock pools .
Then its a easy walk back to Gunnamatta beach and to the cars.

Generally an easy relaxed hike, though will include a beach walking and a couple of short but sharp climbs . However with the outgoing tide the sand will be compact and easy to walk on.

NOTE: Your feet will get wet ! so water shoes or trail shoes with water proof socks are a must to fully enjoy this hike.
