Europa Point Trail

Tamarind Tree on Lameshur Bay Trail

The Europa Point Trail is a spur trail off the Lameshur Bay Trail. Begininng from Lameshur Bay and heading west, The Europa Point Trail begins about 50 yards west of thebig tamarind tree, just before the Lameshur Bay Trail begins its rise.

It is a relatively narrow but easily-followable narrow trail leading south towards the sea. This is the old National Park Trail to Europa Point, abandoned when the National Park workers cut the trail to Europa Bay, which begins about a quarter mile further along the Lameshur Bay Trail.

The original trail to Europa Point became so overgrown as to be nearly impassable until it was reopened through the efforts of a local hiking group in 2005.

Europa Point Spur

The trail begins in the low lying Lameshur Bay valley and passes through a dry forest environment.

As you begin to gain altitude the environment changes to pure cactus scrub, populated by natve frangipani, pipe organ and barrel cacti, century plants, maran bush and Guinea grass.

Hilltop View

You will come out of the forest on a grassy hilltop, with welcome fresh sea breezes accompanied by the sound of surf and the singing of birds.

The views from this point on are nothing short of spectacular.
