The trail sections between Waitpinga and Victor Harbor are especially scenic, much loved by walkers and photographers, with terrain varying from steep rugged cliff faces to sandy surf beaches. From Kings Beach Road, walkers can take the Heysen Trail south west to Cape Jervis (67km – 3-5 days), or head north along the Trail to the Flinders Ranges (1200km, 50-60 days).
