The Capuchin to Cabrits National Park Trail

Segment 14, the last Segment of the Waitukubuli National Trail is another breath taking segment which takes four (4) hours to be completed approximately 10 km and is said to be a moderate hike.

It begins at Capuchin and takes one along the small coastal villages of Toucarie, Cottage, Clifton, and Tane Tane and then culminates one’s adventurous journey of the Waitukubuli National Trail at the Cabrits National Park (commonly known as Fort Shirley). Segment 14 boasts natural attractions such as the Bell Hall Beach and the Toucarie Beach Front.

Other areas of interest include the old church, stony beach, traditional fishing boats, several old estates, the Research Plot, Clemson University, a bay oil production factory and other species of the flora and fauna. There are six (6) vegetation types located on the segment.

Update 2 February, 2017:

Segment 14 from Capuchin to Cabrits has been re-routed due to ongoing construction at the Cabrits Resort Kempinski in Portsmouth. Effective immediately, the route will continue onto the main road from the Douglas Bay area in Portsmouth, otherwise known as Belle Hall Beach, bypassing the previous trail alongside the beach. This route will continue straight in a southerly direction for a three-quarter mile and then proceed right onto the road which leads to Cabrits National Park near Monty’s Fish Grill & Bar. The route continues into the Cabrits National Park, ending near the Officer’s Quarters at Fort Shirley.  The Waitukubuli National Trail Management Unit thanks everyone for their understanding in this matter and apologizes for any inconveniences caused.
