Ocean Grove Foreshore Walk

Expired

Walk Description

Distance: 12 km return

This leisurely and easy walk runs along the neighboring seaside towns of Barwon Heads & Ocean Grove connected by an historic footbridge. Enjoy a sea change with views over the bay crossing over the Barwon River into the Heads. The walk also takes us to the limestone Bluff Lookout. We will stop for morning tea along the way at Sandy Point and will have the option for a picnic lunch or stop at a café. This should take around 4 and half hours including breaks and lunch stop.
