Warringine Wetlands, Hastings

Hastings Marina is the starting point for this walk, the historic boat shed and colourful fishing boats are a nice sight to begin your visit.

The walk starts near Herring St, following the  Westernport Bay Trail, as it crosses Mullet St and runs adjacent to Salmon St. 

There’s something fishy going on here….

The track changes name to Bittern Coastal Wetlands Walk as the wooden boardwalk snakes its way across the wetlands, home to hundreds of species of birds, mammals and reptiles.

The 4km walk takes you all the way to Jacks Beach and returns the same way, via the 4 sections of the area; wetlands, woodlands, coastal and creek.
