Walking Trails

The walking trail is a total distance of 6.3kms, along the coastline, from the town jetty to Pitts Cutting - south of the township.

The trails provide walking, cycling and disbaled access to our coastal reserves, with rest areas and lookout points along the way.

 

Stage 1    (A return walk of 2.7km)

The trail links the Foreshore Caravan Park and the town Cemetery.

This walk offers great views of the Gulf St Vincent, the Adelaide Hills and Gile Point jetty and silos.  The ore carrier the  "Äccolade" can be seen daily sailing from Adelaide Brighton Cements Kleins Point Quarry crossing the Gulf to Birkenhead.

From the beach walk, Pelicans and Black Sanzs can be seen gracing the shallow waters daily.  Interpretive signage of the many different bird species is set out along the trail.

The native vegetation in this area was destroyed by fire in 1994 and has been re-established with natural germination, and some re-planting by the Stansbury Progress Committee.

 

Stage 2   (1.2kms of paved pathway from the town jetty to the Foreshore Caravan Park).

Dolphins can often be seen gracing the shallow waters of the bay in the early morning and late afternoon.

 

Stage 3    (A return walk of 2.4km, via the beach side or cliff top trail).

An extension of stage 1, this trail commences adjacent to the turn around point at the end of stage 1, behind the Stansbury Cemetery.

This section takes approximately 50 minutes to complete.

During later Winter and Spring, natural vegetation can be seen in full bloom.
