Sandwell Park & Bell’s Landing Walk

GaLLT Walk — Sandwell Park and Bell’s Landing (2–3 km)

Park at the end of The Strand. Follow the main trail into Sandwell Park, past yellow gate, and continue to the wide but steep descent to the sand/gravel beach, picnic area and public toilets. Or use the trail located on your right just beyond the yellow gate where you will find steps leading to the beach. If the tide is low enough you may turn left and walk the full extent of the bay, returning by the main trail up the hill, which starts near the picnic area. At low tide a longer loop walk can be done from Bell’s Landing (the public launch site located towards the end of The Strand). From there, walk to Sandwell Park along the beach, returning up the hill on the park trail. Between Sandwell and Bell’s Landing on The Strand, a trail sign points to a community connector path to Fleet Street. Turning left here, you can loop back on Bond and The Strand to Bell’s Landing. Parking is available both at the entrance to the Park and at Bell’s Landing.
