Hike Summary

This short walk starts at the end of Wybung Head Rd leading along the top of the ridge to a fairly large clearing with sweeping ocean views. A large sign provides some information on Marine Mammals. This is a good spot to watch migrations - northern migration from June to July and southern migration from Sept to Oct. There is no shade wind protection or any other facilities so come well prepared if planning to sit and watch for a while.
