Walking to The Balconies is an easy 700m from the top of Eric Street, and from here the views of the rugged coast are breathtaking. You can continue about 3km along the raised track to reach Wedding Cake Rock and a further 1.4 km to reach Little Marlkey Beach - this is one of our favourite local walks.

Take a picnic and watch the Whales on their migration up and down the coast. Follow the Coast Track signs southeast from the carpark. Pass the first left towards Jibbon Fire Trail, do not take this exit. Take the second left, signed towards the Coast Track and follow this to the end. It is reasonably well signed and if you follow these you will come to a large metal sign with an aerial image of the “Royal Coastal Walk”. A subtitle reads “The Balconies”. Look at this sign to get your bearings and continue past it towards the water. Anywhere along this exposed sandstone shelf is great for whale watching. Enjoy!
