We started the walk just on the north side of the bridge and walked up the headland and then down the beach to salt before walking back along the pathway. Beautiful day, crystal clear water and a great place to be.

Pleasant walk with beach, groyne and estuary.

Easy coastal walk. Path, boardwalk & beach. Have a stroll and then lunch in Kingscliff.

Flat and easy. Nice beach and creek views. The Cudgen Headland section of this walk doesn't have much of a set path. Choose whether you want to walk through the park, along the beach or the road. There were a few osprey flying around which was nice.

Beautifully serene.
I recommend doing this one early morning just after sunrise.
