Howden Foreshore

 

At the end of Wingara Road, a walk along Howden foreshore is accessible at low tide.

The rocky shoreline attracts many bird species and supports a wide variety of intertidal reef species that are visible in rock pools.

This is a favourite place for Aurora Australis spotters and photographers.
