Grass Point

Starting from the car park off Adventure Bay Road, Adventure Bay, this walk takes you to Grass Point. The walk to Grass Point follows an easy trail along the coastline, offering excellent views of Adventure Bay, Penguin Island and Cape Queen Elizabeth. The trail is fairly flat and well signed, with several information boards along the way, and is suitable for families and less experienced walkers. Grass Point is a former whaling station, and there are visible remains of structures associated with the old whaling industry. Southern Right Whales and Orcas can occasionally be spotted during migration months along this section of the coast. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
