Baie des Deux Peuples (Two Peoples Bay) Heritage Trail

Starting from Two Peoples Bay Visitor Centre, Nanarupi, this walk traverses along the coastline, looking over Two Peoples Bay. It is both a culturally prominent and a naturally abundant walk; the land is owned by the Minang People. It is possible to do birdwatching, and you can also spot whales during their migration season. The walk passes along a shaded picnic area and Whalers Cove Lookout, roughly 850 metres away. There are only short steep sections, and the track is formed. The signage can be limited at certain parts of the walk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Minang people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
