Track Notes & Overview
Starting from the carpark at the end of Viminaria Road in Harmers Haven the hike follows the track along the fence line and through the tea tree woodland towards Cutlers Beach. Passing by a bench in memory of naturalist Sherry Collins will mark the about the halfway point to the beach and continuing to walk you will reach the rocky and rough Cutlers Beach. After enjoying the coast and having had a break you can walk back along the same track back to the starting point of the hike. The hike is very easy to navigate and once you are on the path from the start of the carpark and you will find the flat undulating track very easy to traverse.
