The Plock

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Plock is a small stretch of coastal area with lots of path to explore. Some stretches, especially along the beaches are quite wild and require good footing. You may need boots on some of the trails. There are lovely little coves that are worth exploring, and viewpoints with benches. While the side towards the road can get noisy, you can hardly hear the traffic on the part of the parklands that are away from the road. Well worth a stop if you are in the area anyway.
