The start of the Coast to Vines Rail Trail at Marino Rocks, Adelaide.
From Marino Rocks it follows the Seaford railway line until Hallett Cove station where it shares the footbridge over the line. A short distance away are Hallett Cove shops, where it crosses Lonsdale Highway and proceeds through a picturesque area of Trott Park. The right turn into Old South Road at the intersection of Panalatinga Road is the start of the section of the trail along the old railway line, with trees lining both sides to Hackham. The path is completely off-road, but it does cross roads, especially in this area of the trail. The path and the roads are clearly signposted. The path crosses Christies Creek and a number of other small creeks along this section. Continuing on will take the rider to the Onkaparinga River and from there to McLaren Vale and Willunga.
The trail was completed in 2007, with a small section running along the main street of McLaren Vale.[1] It intersects with the Patrick Jonker Veloway at both Panalatinga Road turnoff and Southern end of the Southern Expressway.
