Starting at the Mangrove Cove Lookout, the trail winds its way around the Leschenault inlet past the Bunbury town centre and along the Mangrove Board Walk. 

A special feature of the area is the white mangroves. Usually only occuring 800km away, north of Shark Bay, this community of white mangrove is considered unusual in its isolation and is a conservation priority. The Leschenault estuarine system is internationally significant with a high diversity of microfauna, surrounding vegetation in good condition and large numbers of migratory water birds protected under international agreements. 

The trail passes several cafes, resturants and pubs overlooking the water, plus shady parklands where you can stop for a picnic or enjoy a spot of shopping at the Saturday markets. And to keep the kids happy, there is a new accessible playground at Mangrove Cove, and the skatepark precinct at Koolambidi Woola. 

The Dolphin Discovery Centre is directly across the road from the lookout and offers interactions with wild dolphins, tours, an interpretive centre and cafe. The nearby Koombana Bay Foreshore development includes a childrens playground, swimming, picnic facilities and a beachfront cafe.

Great walk in Bunbury, the mangroves are a sight to behold, and along your walk you can always stop at one of the cafes along the Leschenault Inlet.
