More walking

We set out bright and early for Hastings St side of the Park entrance and secured a rare car park.  Our mission was to cover most of the Coastal Walk from that side. Apart from being as crowded as an Everest conga line with walkers joggers and fisherfolk, it is in stark contrast to the Sunshine beach side - a cake walk, concreted for the benefit of any pushers or other wheelchairs as far as Dolphin Point. An easy gravel path continues to Hell’s Gate. Between those two points we were rewarded with a sight in the distance of whales, seemingly mother and calf- spouting, and a couple of times jumping. From Hell’s Gate it is 500m to Alexandria Bay, which we have already visited twice, so did not need the walk down and back up. Perhaps about 6k easy walking round trip.
