Smugglers Cove Trail – Sunshine Coast

Smugglers Cove Trail – Sunshine Coast

Smugglers Cove Trail was the final short walk we did on our mini holiday in the Sunshine Coast. This is a super speedy walk that will take less than a couple of hours.

It’s not permitted to harvest mushrooms from provincial parks in Canada, so we didn’t pick the fungi…we just learned how to identify them. If you fancy going on a wild…
