Tiparra Springs To the Gap Campground
Distance: 11.87 km
Duration: 2 hours 40 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate
Equipment: Trainers, camera, sun cream, sunglasses, hat, swimming costume, towel, toilet paper for the drop toilets
Parking: Free from campsite
Our Adventure:
Embarking on a perfect beach hike from Tiparra Rocks campsite along beautiful beaches, we found ourselves immersed in the serene coastal landscape. The trail allowed us to continue walking until our hearts were content, stopping just before reaching The Gap campsite. It's essential to be mindful of the tides; we chose low tide, enabling us to walk the entire way along the sand. However, on the return journey, the higher tide necessitated an inland route for parts of the track.
While dogs should ideally be on-lead due to nesting birds, our hike encountered only two fishermen, allowing Alma to roam off-lead. Nonetheless, it's crucial to practice recall and control, especially when passing nesting areas.
Rating: 9/10
This beach hike offered a near-perfect experience, with stunning coastal views and the flexibility to adapt to tide conditions. For those eager to explore the Yorke Peninsula or plan a beach adventure, our trail recording on AllTrails captures the essence of this highly rated coastal trek.
