Hallett Cove Conservation Park

In the winer beautiful green color comes alive. You can take a pram on a large portion of the hike, though there are numerous off shoot trails you can't take a pram. Taking the train from CBD to Hallett Cove Beach Station is a nice 40 mins ride, but a bit of a walk downhill to the Conservation Park entry. Plan how much you can hike in the park because remember you have to walk back up the hill going back if taking the train back to CBD. You might be able to time it to get a city bus from right outside the train stop to the beach but also may not as they don't come very often. If you choose to drive, plenty of parking nearby with a car park and street parking. Beach isn't for swimming but nice views.

Very informative park with signboards along the track and with tar road to walk on. Lots of information on the geological history surrounding the area. The road is parallel to the beach. There's few pathways to go down the beach. Lots of beautifully coloured pebbles on the sand. Ample parking area. There's a cafe and toilet nearby.

Lovely walk along the glacier trail with scenic views. However be warned that signage is a bit sparse, so you really need to be paying attention to where you're going or you'll get a little lost. Lots of uphill/steps so a reasonable level of fitness is required.

Lots of history and a nice walk along the rocks on a raised wooden platform. Well designed to take in the area.

One of the true gem of Adelaide. I'm a wedding photographer and this is one of my favourite place for pre-wedding shoots or family shoots!

The park is nestled right on the coastline, naturally giving you breathtaking views and the real magic of this place lies in its all sorts of unique rock formations! From towering cliffs to cool-looking caves.ah, lots of photo opportunities!

Hallett Cove is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Located in the suburb of Hallett Cove on the shores of St Vincent's Bay, Hallett Cove Conservation Park captivated me at first sight.
According to scientists, evidence of an ice age in Australia is shown in the Sugarloaf, a well-known feature of Hallett Cove. These are conical hills made up of sediments deposited about 280 million years ago.
The trails leading to the beach, the long boardwalk along the coast, the rocky beach instead of the sandy beach… let me go for hours here without getting bored.
Suitable to go with family or friends to enjoy a wonderful natural corner by the sea.
It is only about 25km from the CBD.

Beautiful way to spend 40 minutes outside, great views. Lovely ocean breeze and a good heart pump!

Gorgeous place to go for a little walk. Easy assess, steady and clean pathway. Start from Cafe and do a small round took about an hour. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a little exercise!

Really nice place for a walk for adults and fun for kids, as there is a really nice park for kids to enjoy. Only issue is lack of toilets on the walkway. Also, there is only one restaurant which has monopoly over price.

Great place to walk through with amazing views onto the coast. Fairly quiet. Only call out is that due to the pebbles on the track it’s a bit easy to slip when hiking.

Truly Disgusted,
I attended this Park to explore some of Adelaide's Iconic scenery and observe wild birds and local fauna, but to my disappoint i traveled 6 and half hours to be met with a non-wheelchair accessible conservation park. Me myself am I disabled man with no legs and had to deal with entire sadness that rolled over my body, watching my friends and family walk in front of me fully abled beings eat their picnic with out me at he non-wheelchair accessible peak with their twiggy sticks cheese and water cracker and in this purely shame and regret I now realize that i am not wanted and never will be.thanks a lot Hallet Cove and i have attached some pictures of my trip.

Really nice board walk. Great sea views. Sometimes see dolphins. Interesting geological features.

Very well maintained and I love how quiet it is. It just me and my husband so we took a lot of photos. Very educational and definitely good walk.

What a lovely tranquil place to go with a coffee, sit, relax and enjoy the view. Also a creative little playground area.

We love walking along the boardwalk to Hallett Cove conservation park and then thru the park back to the boardwalk. The views are magnificent! Sunsets are so picturesque.

A fabulous Park for choosing a walk to suit yourself.
Many different tracks one can pick from,
Ranging from 1/2 hr walks, to 3 plus hrs.

And they range from an easy boardwalk to fairly Steep hills & steps.

Parked at northern end. Has trails and a creek (dry in summer). Leads to wonderful cliffs and ocean views. Restaurant and park are the southern end.

Beautifully kept, quiet, new trees coming along nicely, all equipment well maintained, Bbq, seating, playground toilets lots of space to play after swimming. No litter, very lovely place.

This place is heavenly! Take a train from CBD and a short kilometre walk from the station. Wear sports shoes as there’s lot of rough areas to walk. Definitely carry water and some food as there’s zero options. I didn’t even see a single shop in the station or on the way.

I understand that Hallett Cove is one of the best known geological sites in Australia and is known for its international significance besides being a great place to walk. This because the cliff tops are the base of a glacial lake that melted 270 million years ago, leaving boulders and sedimentary deposits. The glacial pavement on the cliff top shows the scrape marks from boulders moved in a glacier. The park is recognised as the best record of Permian glaciation in Australia
