Getting started
From the entrance to the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort (at the intersection of Bateau Bay Rd and Moronga St, Bateau Bay), this walk follows the sandy track as it goes behind the wooden fence and runs alongside Bateau Bay Rd, keeping the road to the right. After a short distance the track swings away from the road and meanders through the trees for a short distance, passing an old concrete tank, to the left, and ignoring sidetracks to ocean viewpoints etc. The walk then turns right at an intersection near a viewpoint, looking over the caravan park. From here the walk follows the sandy bush track directly away fro the nearby caravan park, ignores a bush track to the left, and soon enters the picnic area and reaches an intersection beside the top of the wooden beach access steps.....

Toilet: There is one 870 m from the start.

Seat: There are 3 on route, on average they are 940 m apart with the largest gap of 1.5 km.
