A super busy walk with amazing views. Well marked track. It’s paved all the way but there are plenty stairs to help get the heart rate up especially if you stop in at the bays along the way.

We loved the day we spent walking the cove walk and checking the beaches on the way. The swimming at the end, at Cathedral Cove, was well worth the moderate effort it took to get there.
