An easy half-day walk for lovers of the gorgeous Wilson’s Promontory. Beginning just inland of Darby beach, walk through coastal vegetation then descend to the secluded, magical Fairy Cove for a dip among the rocks! A 6km round-trip with some steep parts.
Many regular visitors to the Prom never do Fairy Cove because it requires a drive to Darby River (12km from the Tidal River information centre).
If driving, park at the Darby River (closer to walk) or Darby Saddle carparks.
This walk is quite achievable for children – not to mention rewarding. More advanced walkers may want to trek further to Tongue Point (map 18 on the Prom’s ‘day trips’ brochure.
Be sure not to arrive close to high-tide when swimming may not be possible or advisable (it’s a tiny beach).
