Botanical Beach is renowned for its incredibly rich tide pools, teeming with marine life and plant species. The quickest way to reach the beach is by taking the 1km downhill trail (be prepared for an uphill climb on the way back!), or you can opt for a slightly longer 2.8km loop trail.

When you arrive at Botanical Beach, enjoy the stunning ocean views and explore the rugged coastline. The tidepools, carved into soft sandstone, are home to hundreds of plant species and marine creatures. Remember to only look, but don’t touch!
