Sandringham-Brighton Beach
March 14th, 2011 at 14:18Length: 3.94 km
Time taken: 1 hour (including breaks for pictures)
Grade: Easy
Climb: 38 metres
I was waiting for a nice day to do this walk and I got it! I was surprised by how ‘bushy’ this walk was compared to other parts of the beach track closer to the city. Some parts of the track were quite hidden in the bushes, while other parts were exposed near the road, and other parts were right along the beach. The track climbs up and down from the beach, to the top of small cliffs, to the road, providing many different types of views.
