Hastings Foreshore Recreational Walking Track, Hastings

If you’re visiting Hastings and wanting to fill your lungs with fresh sea air then why not take a stroll, walk, run or cycle along the Hastings Foreshore Recreational Walking Track. It is a pleasant track. The track runs alongside the Western Port Bay offering scenic views of the bay, fishing boats and the mangrove forest along the shoreline.

For those feeling extra fit and wanting more exercise you’ll find fitness stations dotted along the way. With the Western Port Bay on one side and the Fred Smith Reserve on the other it is a very pleasant place to be exercising. Your pooch is welcome to join you, however it must be on a leash. The neighboring Fred Smith Reserve is a dog free roam area.

As you stroll along you can read up on the history of the area and Blue Scope Steel at Long Island Point which you can see across the bay.

Once you’ve finished strolling, walking or running along the approximate 3.6km take time out to walk along the Hastings Jetty. Watch the fishermen or perhaps throw a line in yourself.
