Comments
The track from 12 mile delta to Bob's cove is also a great loop for an adventure.
The track is well‑marked and easy to follow, with a nice mix of gentle gradients and open viewpoints that make the walk feel rewarding without being difficult.
The coastline looks fantastic from the higher points, and the changing light across the water adds a lot of atmosphere.
A great route for walkers, families and anyone who enjoys relaxed, scenic tracks with big ocean views.
