Hike summary
This is an outstanding 15.5 kilometre (31 kilometre return) walk along part of the spectacular Fitzgerald River National Park coastline from Point Ann to Point Charles and on to the Fitzgerald River mouth. Along with the coastal views are views to the inland peaks and lakes of the central wilderness area. It is marked with posts bearing the Royal Hakea symbol.
This trail can be broken down into shorter return sections or the full length of it can be walked as an overnight hike with camping available at the Fitzgerald River inlet. Point Ann to Lake Nameless Lookout 10.6km return 3 - 4 hours This is an easy section and is sandy underfoot. After a short beach walk the trail ascends through heath and then groves of Christmas trees to the Nuytsia Lookout.

Point Ann to Point Charles 26.8km return 9 - 10 hours The section from Lake Nameless to Point Charles is a more strenuous section with undulations and rocky terrain.
