Alum Cliffs Track

Reasonably well maintained track from Kingston Beach to near Taroona with some good views of Storm Bay between Howrah and the Iron Pot.

A lovely walk. The start from Kingston Beach has two options - go left for the Alum Cliff Track and straight up a fairly standard walking track, or go low to the Tyndall Beach steps and at about the 600m mark you reach stairs to go straight up to meet the Alum Cliffs Track.I walked through to the shot tower then beyond towards Taroona where the entry/exit to Alum Cliff Track is off a private driveway (there is a sign). I also did the tower. Total distance was 9.65km. I’m not the fittest by any stretch, this circuit took me 2.5 hours with stops for pictures and for occasional heavy breathing! The extra section to the tower has a large descent and ascent. Not amazing views but quite pretty and some nice sections with relief from the sun. Lots of ups and downs as you’d expect for a coastal walk.
