About this place
What to expect
Located along the Coastal Trail between the Fingal Picnic Ground on Cape Schanck Road and Gunnamatta, this beach is accessed by step steps. With more than 400 steps, a visit to this spectacular beach is not for the faint hearted but is worth the visit if you are up for the long climb back to the trail. The walk will from Cape Schanck Road to Fingal Beach will take approximately 30 minutes each way. This long sandy beach is not patrolled and the reefs and rocks make this a dangerous beach for swimming and surfing. Dogs are not permitted on this beach or on the Coastal Trail.
