It’s a short and easy walk along the dunes to Nelson Beach. Linger on the white sands to gaze over the glistening aqua-blue waters or take a picnic and find a spot to relax.
Be sure to bring your camera along to capture the stunning views. If you’re quick, you could snap local wildlife such as koalas, swamp wallabies and migratory birds like hooded plovers or pied oystercatchers.
For surfers, Nelson Beach offers breaks over the beach and the inlet shoals. It's nicely protected from north and south winds.
Return to the carpark on the walking track, or stroll up the beach to Nelson Lagoon and return via another short trail.
