This is a pretty coastal track overlooking the yachts in Geilston Bay. There are views across the river to Selfs Pint and Mt Wellington. A playground and good quality cycleway at Geilston Bay Regional Park is suitable for younger children learning to ride. The 400m gravel coastal path along the shoreline was hand-built using drystone construction and during high tide, the water laps the edge of the track. The remainder of the track is a bitumen pathway that follows the coast to Talune Street, then along the widened footpath to ANZAC Park. Finish at Simmons Park in Lindisfarne where there is a playground and toilets.

Warning: The first section of track from Geilston Bay Regional Park is narrow and rocky and sections may be inundated during extremely high tides. Novice bike riders should walk their bikes through this section or detour along Musgrove Road and Derwent Avenue.
