Kianiny Bay to White Horse Bay lookout |
![]() ![]() White Horse Bay is not the most spectacular bay in the area but the walk to it is quite nice. The walk takes you from Kianiny Bay and picnic area past the Kianiny lookout, through some of the signature heath of Bournda National Park. The walk heads to the northern point of White Horse Bay where there are views out to sea over the black, rough and steep rock shoreline. (open in app)
