Innes Park and Elliot Heads - coastal secrets!

We are making the most if this lovely winter weather on the Coral Coast!

Enjoyed a drive through the flourishing cane and veggie fields  - destination one: Elliot Heads; destination two: Innes Park. Love exploring new places and these pockets of coastal loveliness didn't disappoint!

WALK TWO

The wide mouth of the Elliot River

Picturesque!

This beachside kiosk was the only shop we could find in Elliot Heads

The walkway starts at the mouth of the river and Elliot Heads Beach.
We really enjoyed this lovely stretch of coastline ..........................

The Caravan Park has a prime position close to the river and the beach

Elliot Heads Beach

The Surf Club is hibernating for winter

Looking across the beach to the river mouth 

The Memorial Park and Submarine Lookout

The tide was coming in and the fishermen were beginning to line the banks of the river mouth

Zucchinis!

Coral Cove's lovely golf course.
The greens have been strategically built into the coastal township providing a unique challenge for golfers.

WALK THREE

The lovely Innes Park Reserve

Innes Park Beach at the mouth of Palmers Creek

The importance of the marine habitats of the ocean, Palmers Creek and the Coral Cove Environmental Reserve is emphasised in the interpretive display.

Overlooking Barolin Point

Barolin Rocks - one of Queensland's most accessible shore diving sites.
Also plenty of reef fish and coral for snorkelers

The Coral Cove Golf Course runs down to the sea - what a hole with the Pacific Ocean as its backdrop!
No good for people with a left hook!

This hole is the longest in Australia at 635m
Guess this lovely seat is so you can rest before you tackle the hole, or to take a breather between the balls
you are hooking into the ocean :) 

Certainly a beautiful view!

 Another great afternoon and highly recommended walks if you visit the beautiful Coral Coast.
