Rye Ocean Beach to Number 16 Beach (part of The Coastal Walk)

Walk Difficulty From the Rye Ocean Beach car park at the end of Dundas Street walk westward along the beach. You will pass access tracks leading inland to Gunida Court and Alison Avenue, and make your way around two small headlands. After approximately 2.5km you will see a red-capped post in the dunes that indicates the start of the track leading off the beach. Follow this track and the red-capped posts as it meanders along the cliff tops and rugged coastline past the intersection of the inland track to Brewster Road before descending onto the western end of Number 16 Beach. Continue along the beach past Avon Road and Heyfield Road exits until you come to the sandstone outcrop of Lizard Head. Further along at the eastern end of the beach, a set of stairs access the track to the No. 16 car park.

The path surface is gravel track and beach sand. Dangerous currents. Swimming not advised.

This walk can be completed in either direction and joins Gunnamatta Ocean Beach in the east to Bridgewater Bay in the west as part of the 30km Coastal Walk.
