Review:

We started our walk at the intersection of Beach Road and Sparks Street. There is a track down through the trees along the top of the cliff. Immediately below the track is a rocky point with no sand. A little bit further along there is a path down to a small beach where the 1st Beaumaris Sea Scout Boat Shed is located. The beach is about 20m long and there is a jetty. At each end of the beach there are rocky points which means you can't walk along the beach to the east or west. At low tide there are significant areas of rockpools.

The trail continues past the headland and steps lead down to the beach. The initial 100m has exposed rocks in the water. After this area you reach some stairs which come down from Dalgetty Road and continue along Beaumaris Life Saving Club Beach Dog Off Leash Area.
