"A lovely walk that takes you along the coast in mainly tree sheltered forest with lots of butterflies to be seen. A fairly easy path. I do recommend bringing water as it can get quite hot.
The coastline is absolutely spectacular and the walking up to Bustard Point and into Joseph Banks Conservation Park is a good way to extend this walk."

"I googled the Butterfly Walk and this came up...it's smack bang in the middle of the captain Cook walk and down a short bush path came to the most gorgeous little beach! Not a soul around, so peaceful and an excellent swimming beach (no waves) loved it! 😊"
