"Situated near the Agnes Water Museum, this is a lovely scenic short walk to Agnes Water Headland. You can easily do it within an hour and it is well marked. There is low gradient but nothing too strenuous. We came on a weekend and there was plenty of parking in the car park."

"Nice little trek along the sea, with free parking available near the entrance. The walk is about 15 minutes long, very easy, and accessible to all levels. The viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views, making it truly worth the short walk! Don't miss it if you're in the area, it's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature."

"Lovely short walk which varies from 600m to 1000m one way depending which of the various tracks you take. A wee bit of a climb, but up top you get superb views back to the Agnes coast & upto 1770. We saw a wee tree snake halfway up. We went up on the track from the back gate of NRMA camp, and came down on track to the Community centre. About 3/4 hour all up with time for photos up top"
