Hallett Cove Conservation Park
A coastal geological park that preserves glacial scrapes and other features from about 280 million years ago. A clifftop boardwalk runs all the way to Marino.
Within the park, the white sedimentary layers of the Sugarloaf and glacially scraped rock surfaces are famous evidence of the Permian ice age in the Southern Hemisphere. The Marino to Hallett Cove coastal boardwalk runs about 7 km along the undulating cliffs with wide ocean views. You can walk just one section and turn back. It is about 30 minutes' drive from the city centre, or you can take a train to Hallett Cove Beach station. The boardwalk has many steps, so bring plenty of water and sun protection.
