The Coastal Survivors Walk takes walkers away from Point D'Entrecasteaux car park down a winding path toward the Windy Harbour Town Centre. Passing interpretive information along the way telling the stories of the rich indigenous history of the National Park and then elaborating on the several explorers who ventured along the Southern Forests. After circling around the point walkers will descend onto Cathedral Rock Beach and from a boardwalk have views out the this giant rock formation. Meander along the sand dunes for a final one kilometre, then you'll arrive at the Windy Harbour Car Park and Boat Ramp.
