If you love Victorian coastal walks then this hike is a must do whenever you are in the local area next.

Track Notes & Overview

Starting at the Cape Liptrap Lighthouse, walk down Cape Liptrap road for a few hundred metres until reaching a turn off track on the left hand side of the road. From here follow this track until reaching the coast/beach and follow along this for about 15 kilometres while you soak up the beautiful sea views and coastal breezes. Once you reach the end of this 15 kilometre stretch turn off onto Five Mile Track, continue to follow this track for about 4 kilometres until reaching Walkerville road which is the end of the hike.

*Please note that this hike is one way and transport will need to be arranged in order to return to the carpark at the lighthouse.
