Starting from the Jimmys Beach Reserve car park at the end of Beach Road, Hawks Nest, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Yacaaba and back via the Yacaaba Headland Walk. This moderately challenging walk takes walkers to the summit of Mount Yacaaba, also known as Yacaaba Headland, at the southern end of Myall Lakes National Park. The walk initially meanders along the sandy shoreline of Bennetts Beach, offering excellent views of Providence Bay's crystal clear turquoise waters, leading to the southern end of the beach. Upon entering the headland, the walk begins climbing steeply through dense coastal bushland towards the summit, offering occasional glimpses of Hawks Nest along the way. After a moderate scramble with some loose rocks, the walk reaches the summit of Mount Yacaaba, which offers panoramic views of Bennetts Beach, Jimmys Beach, Hawks Nest, Tea Gardens and the stunning coastline of the Barrington Coast. This walk consists of narrow walking trails with uneven natural surfaces, sandy surfaces, steep hills and rocky sections, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
