The Meroo Head lookout walking track offers some of the most breathtaking coastal views in Meroo National Park. This easy walk takes you through tall forest to the northern edge of the headland, where you’ll be greeted by sweeping views of the pristine coastline and dazzling waters stretching into the distance.
This spot is also ideal for birdwatching, with numerous opportunities to observe the local wildlife in their natural habitat. If you have time, you can continue the loop around the headland back to the car park or make your way down to Meroo Beach. For those looking to extend their walk, the Nuggan Point walking track offers more stunning coastal scenery and is a perfect vantage point for whale watching.
