Trail objective

Hughes Road represents a crucial 200-meter missing link in the Bay Trail near Cameron’s Bight Jetty, connecting Blairgowrie and Sorrento. This scenic area, defined by tranquil beaches and popular summer camping in the foreshore reserve, requires a trail connection that accommodates all users, including walkers, cyclists, wheelchair users, and families with prams. Creating this inclusive link will complete a vital section of the Bay Trail, enhancing accessibility and enjoyment for all.
