Route/Trail notes
A detailed description of the walk!
Starting from North: Head to the Southern end of Don Macsween Park / Miami Beach and make you way up the Miami Rainbow Stairs a sharp right turn is taken immediately and a short well worn dirt path from foot traffic through the grass leads to Lores Bonney Lookout (look for the little path through the bush to a rock with a view just South of the lookout). After soaking up the view return to the top of the stairs and continue South on the paved path enjoying the views from the lookouts before heading down of the headland continue straight ahead to complete a loop of yet more lookouts. The Mick Schamburg Park Lookout is at the far end of the loop and provides the best Southerly aspect. After completing the loop now follow the paved path down the hill to North Burleigh Beach. After enjoying North Burleigh Beach return to the start.
Starting from South: From the Northern end of North Burleigh Beach / Ed Hardy Park walk North into Mick Schamburg Park continuing up the paved path up the headland. At the first junction turn right for a short loop of lookouts including the Mick Schamburg Park Lookout which has the best Southerly view of the walk. After completing the loop continue North along the paved path before turning left onto a dirt path to Lores Bonney Lookout just before the Miami Rainbow Stairs. At the lookout look for the little path through the bush to a rock with a view just South of the lookout. After enjoying the views return to Miami Rainbow Stairs and descend them to Miami Beach. Once you have enjoyed the beach return to the start of the walk.
