Cape Conran - Conran Nature Trail (East Cape Boardwalk)
Cape Conran is rich in cultural heritage - both Aboriginal and European. Follow the boardwalk around East Cape to Cowrie Bay, where interpretive signs provide a rare glimpse of the significance of the coastal environment for Aboriginal people. Climb the steps from the beach to take the trail through coastal heathland back to Sailors Grave (East Cape Car Park) or continue on to West Cape and Salmon Rocks Beach.
Cape Conran Coastal Park is a natural coastal playground of outstanding beauty. There are miles of white sandy beaches and rock pools to explore, and boardwalks, bushwalks and lookouts provide opportunities for understanding the coastal environment. Diverse flora and fauna can be found in the coastal heathlands and banksia woodlands of Cape Conran.
