22.74 kmMostly sealed (asphalt, bitumen or concrete), with some rough or older narrow bitumen sections.Wynyard to South Burnie

A coastal trail on the Bass Strait shoreline, mixing purpose-built paths with sections beside an active freight rail line. Between Wynyard and Burnie it follows a true rail trail and then the coast and disused rail line past Somerset and Cooee. Burnie has a large choice of places to stay, with more in Wynyard.

Wynyard to Burnie (about 18km on the RTA guide): a path along the coast and the disused rail line to Cooee, then a true rail trail towards Wynyard, ending at Gutteridge Gardens on the Inglis River. Take care at the freight and heritage rail crossings. Signage is unclear in places.
