Description
Cape Schanck – Fingal Beach, Mornington Peninsula National Park
We meet at the kiosk in the Cape Schanck car park, approximately 95km from Melbourne, before walking to Fingal Beach, the southernmost of the sandy beaches along the Bass Strait coast between Point Nepean and Cape Schanck. This hike takes us through dense tea-tree forest above coastal cliffs, with spectacular views along the way, before descending (quite steeply) down to Fingal Beach. We walk along this spectacular and remote beach for approximately 1km before turning back. Mindfulness exercises and delicious whole foods snacks and lunch will be enjoyed along the way.
Grade: Easy-Medium. 8.0km. Sturdy bushwalking shoes or boots are not essential but recommended. Alternatively, please wear runners with good grip. Please note there is a long, steep descent to, and ascent from, Fingal Beach.
