Basic walk but the lookout was unexpectedly stunning!!!

I was very confused by the old description of this walk as it indicated access only from the Caravan Park. I ended up scaling the rock at the end of the beach to cut the track near the lookout. Having now walked it twice, hopefully my new details will help other walkers.

Easy walk, views are beautiful.

An easy walk with stunning views, I would recommend doing it in the morning or afternoon as the lights nicer.

Nice part of the world. There was not one foot print on the beaches and I did not see a soul the whole walk.
