Waitpinga Cliffs can be reached either by a walk starting from Waitpinga Beach or by a walk starting from The Bluff. We had previously reached the cliffs from both The Bluff back in May 2021 and also from Waitpinga Beach back in September 2021.

HOWEVER, there remained unfinished business as there was a 4km stretch of the cliffs that we had not set foot on previously – so we attempted to rectify this with two day trips from our base in Normanville to ‘complete the cliffs’.

On the first trip we walked from The Bluff to what we call the ‘lunch bench’ – a seat on the cliffs with a very scenic view that is ideal for eating lunch. We then retraced our steps and went back the same way. This was the shorter of the two walks at around 6km each way and it follows the coast taking in a few beaches on the way.

On the second trip we started from the other direction and walked from Waitpinga Beach to the ‘lunch bench’ – thereby completing the missing kilometres of the trail along the cliffs. On the way back we took a different track as part of the ‘Coastal Cliffs Walking Trail’. This walk was a total of 16km and it goes across the headland coming out at the cliffs for the last few kilometres or so.
