Wreck Beach

1.1 km return

20 min to 30 min

20 min to 30 min

Starting from the end of Verona Road, Shoal Bay, this walk takes you straight to Wreck Beach via a fire trail. Short but challenging, it rewards you with a picturesque beach which is quite isolated. At low tide, the northern end of the beach offers a rock scramble to another tiny beach, even more secluded. There is no safety patrol and the surf can be dangerous - swimming is at your own risk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Three Peaks Walk

2.3 km oneway

Three Peaks Walk

45 min to 1 h 30 min

Starting from Ocean Beach Road, Shoal Bay, this walk takes you through the eastern bushland of Shoal Bay, optionally visiting three beaches along the way. This fire trail walk is really all about the side trips. Wander down to three secluded beaches (unpatrolled), enjoy the wide coastal views and sunbake (Australian term for sunbathe) at these secluded beaches. You'll find pristine sand and clear water in all of the beaches. Surfers tend to choose these beaches because of the waves and currents, be very cautious if you decide to take a swim. Allow plenty of extra time for the side trips.
