 Greens Beach West Head Coastal Track

PUFF-O-METRE

 


OVERVIEW

This is a beautiful coastal loop walk that has you enjoying multiple beaches along the way as well as a couple of locations that are elevated, allowing for some spectacular scenery. The track starts at Greens Beach. There is plenty of parking there along with facilities like a shop and toilets.

The track from Greens beach to First Little Beach is a narrow single person track however it's easy going with plenty of rest points at either outdoor benches or onto secluded beaches. From First Little Beach to the point, the track becomes a little more rocky and the elevation changes a bit more rapidly in places.

From the point to the Badger Beach carpark, it's much easier going, with most of it being downhill unless you divert off to check out the Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach is a magic location and a much better spot to stop and have lunch at rather than at the point that you've just left. 

Badger Beach Lookout to Badger Beach carpark is a wide open, gravel track. Once you get to the carpark then you can take any number of track along the road that joins back onto the track that you originally walked along. This then takes you back to Greens Beach. 

It's a stunning walk that's well worth the effort of its length. Make time to stop along it for a picnic and swim in one of the many locations.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
