Blairgowrie Coastal Loop – 6km

📍 Blairgowrie
🗓️ Saturday 15 August
⏰ 8:00am

Some places on the Mornington Peninsula never lose their magic, and this is one of them.

Join us as we explore one of my absolute favourite coastal loops, winding our way through rugged clifftops, secluded beaches, crystal-clear rock pools and breathtaking lookouts. It’s a hike that showcases some of the Peninsula’s most spectacular coastline.

Our early 8:00am start isn’t by accident. We time our walks to enjoy the trail before it becomes busy and to make the most of the morning light across the coastline. It’s my favourite time of day to experience this part of the Peninsula.

This is a mid-pace hike covering approximately 6km. The track includes sandy trails, uneven terrain, steps and some moderate hills, making it ideal for those looking for a little more of a challenge than our relaxed social walks.

After the hike, we’ll head to a local café for anyone who’d like to stay for a coffee and a chat.

Distance: Approx. 6km
Pace: Mid
Suitable for: Confident walkers who are comfortable on uneven coastal terrain.

We can’t wait to share one of our favourite trails with you.
