About the Coast Park Path Rail Trail
Imagine being able to ride or walk 70 km along Adelaide's sandy shoreline. That's the plan for the Coast Park Path, and you can do much of it already.
The Coast Park Path is a great day or weekend destination on the coastal beaches of Adelaide. It has a sealed surface that is mostly concrete or paving and is very flat. Numerous railways and tramways were built in Adelaide in the 1870s and ’80s and this shared path features three that were never connected as planned. Access from Adelaide to the coast was a significant problem during settlement due to ‘low, swampy reed country’. While it was a beautiful wetland, the colonists managed to drain it within a few decades and, in doing so, created sand drifts that proceeded to destroy two of the three railways.
