Sandy to the south and strewn with black rocks to the north, Hallett Cove provides a quiet spot enjoyed by swimmers and fishermen alike. But the real jewel here lies in the rich geological history of the scarred cliffs and eroded foreshore. The area was declared a conservation park in 1976 to protect the unique glacial pavements and ancient sediments - remnants of a distant ice age. An informative walking trail along the cliffs takes in all the geological features - including spectacular "Sugarloaf" - and yields stunning views across St.Vincent's Gulf.
