About this place
This loop track gives a great view of the rugged West Coast.
The route
The Constant Bay Loop takes around 15 minutes. It provides a great view of the rugged west coast, with waves smashing over rocks and cliffs surrounding you. While this track is great for families there are exposed sections with drops, and children should be supervised.
