Positives:

  • Pram-friendly sections: The bitumen path from the café to the first lookout is smooth for easy pram access.
  • Baby-change facilities: Public toilets at Heron Way Reserve and Boatshed Café include baby-change tables.

Challenges:

  • Uneven trails beyond lookout: Boardwalk loops and beach access involve stairs or rough ground—carry baby in a front carrier if exploring further.
  • Limited nursing rooms: No dedicated nursing room at the café—ask staff for a quiet table or check with Parks SA office.

Highly recommend walk for photographers or fitness ,not too busy, not too strenuous but plenty of fantastic natural sites along the way.
