The Sole Walk at Hillocks Drive

Overview

The Sole Walk: Hillocks Drive, Butler’s Beach

The Sole Walk is a linear 5 hour walk (not including breaks) from Butlers Beach to Kangaroo Island Lookout and return OR, Butlers Beach to Meehan Lookout and return.

These one-day walks pass spectacular coastline adjacent to Hillocks Drive, a real highlight of Yorke Peninsula. Experience the rugged coastline, quiet sandy beaches and magnificent rock pools. Enjoy the wildlife, marine life and spectacular bird-watching.

This is a challenging walk (category 3) due to need to traverse the rocky beach line. The walk is for sure-footed walkers wearing sturdy foot wear. Plan the walk with the prevailing wind behind you for greater enjoyment.

Brown snakes are native to the area, be sure to wear shoes, socks and long trousers when walking in the bush in warmer months. If you see a Brown snake, keep a polite distance away and admire his beauty. Snakes are most commonly seen in spring and autumn.

Pack your lunch, snack and good supply of water. Tack your bathers to cool off in one of many rockpools along the route during those hot summer days. You welcome to use our shelter with a bbq for a rest stop.
