This short one-way walk in Wyrrabalong National Park takes you from Bateau Bay Beach picnic area to Forresters Beach. Enjoy the great views at lookouts along the way. If you come between May and August this is a great walk for some whale watching. Let us begin by acknowledging the Darkinjung & Guringai people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
