Lord Street**Coast walk**: There's a great walk starting from in town (the carpark on Short Street has 4hour parking).
Follow the path along the river towards the ocean (we call it “the breakwall”) and keep following that path along the coast and the beaches.
You can stop for another coffee at the first beach (Town Beach) or at the third beach (Flynns Beach).
The coastal walk stretches for 9km all the way to Lighthouse Beach which is a fair trek.
We like going from town to Flynns Beach and back. Keep an eye out for whales and dolphins!
There are water fountains and toilets along the way.
