This short walk leads from the Tea Tree Picnic Area to the Bird Island Lookout. The view from the fenced platform looks up and down Birdie Beach and out to sea to Bird Island. The walk starts from the car park and heads across the compacted dirt then a mulched path before finally heading up a timber ramp to the lookout. A short walk to a grand view.
