This family-friendly track is particularly well suited to cycling as it has long sections of level concrete pathway. It starts from Bellerive Beach Park and follows the coast behind the dunes. There are good views of Howrah Beach from Second Bluff but take care on the gravel sections between Second Bluff and Howrah Beach. Walkers may prefer to walk along Bellerive Beach and rejoin the track at Second Bluff where steps lead up from the beach. Wentworth Park makes a good alternative start/end point for families.
