Start your walk at Goodwin Terrace end where you will find parking. Enter through the gate and veer right to take the Ocean View Lookout track by climbing the stairs. Keep an eye out for water dragons, they might not move out of your path. Don't worry, they aren't dangerous. Grab a selfie with one if you want!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dee - Passionate Life Project

Aussie born and bred 📍Gold Coast, Australia My favourite way to immerse myself in a new destination is to walk, and eat! You’ll find me seeking out tasty dishes and wines that are local to the region I’m visiting. I love getting lost in the streets of a new neighbourhood to gain a feel for the local vibe. In the evenings, I prefer a quiet cocktail bar. I also love hiking and being near the ocean, whether it’s swimming or lazing on a boat. I lived for 4 years on Cruise Ships, cruising the Mediterranean, Caribbean and South Pacific. From there, I lived in St Kitts in the West Indies for 2 years. Melbourne, Australia was my home base for 20 years, and for the past 9 years, I’ve been enjoying the sun, sand and surf of the Gold Coast.
