An easy half-day walk for lovers of the gorgeous Wilson's Promontory. Beginning just inland of Darby beach, walk through coastal vegetation then descend to the secluded, magical Fairy Cove for a dip among the rocks! A 6km round-trip with some steep parts.

Many regular visitors to the Prom never do Fairy Cove because it requires a drive to Darby River (12km from the Tidal River information centre).

If driving, park at the Darby River (closer to walk) or Darby Saddle carparks.

Be sure not to arrive close to high-tide when swimming may not be possible or advisable (it's a tiny beach).

Getting there:
Beginning from the Derby River car park (note: further north than the Darby Saddle car park), follow the signs to Tongue Point but at the 2.4km mark, take the sign-posted path another 400m or so down to Fairy Cove.

Be aware the walk contains some very steep parts down and up from the cove, however it is well worth the effort because of the spectacular and unspoilt views afforded.
