Hare Point walking track begins at Red Point picnic area and meanders through Bangalay sand forest, across soft, deep sand, for approximately 3km to Hare Point at Carama Inlet on the northern shores of Jervis Bay.
Here, you can enjoy lovely, unspoilt views of the mangrove trees growing throughout the inlet. Winter is a great time to visit, when the weather is cooler and the crowds are nowhere to be seen.
Although the track is one-way, it can become a loop if you walk back along the beach.

If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call.
