Magical experience.
We did the coastal walk at 1770 not realizing it had a huge butterfly component. Walking the coastal path was delightful, walking through clouds of beautiful, delicate butterflies was very special. I didn't expect to do something like this in Australia.

Great views
Solo
This is a very scenic walk with spectacular coastal views. At the right time of year there are blue tiger butterflies everywhere. It's an easy walk and well worth it.

Nice morning walk among butterfly’s and dragonfly’s. Few different walks to lookout points. Easy trail. Lovely paths with bush and scenic views.

Stunning views of the beach and cliff side. Definitely recommend if you are new or just visiting the area. We were amazed by the beauty. Very nice and easy walk.

Views are well worth the walk
Choose decent shoes as the walk is mixed surface. Lots of spots to see on the way, little beaches and wildlife (Our first wild Echidna). The view at the end we went back to 3 times as you can see both sunrise and sunset from the same spot. Make sure you walk around the viewing platform onto the rocks beyond for the best views.

Lovely
This is a lovely walk along the coastline.
If you are fortunate to be there at the right time of the year, you are certain to see a lot of butterflies.

Enjoyable wander
Having parked at a decent sized carpark, the Butterfly Walk to Bustard Head avails great views, 2 lookouts, access to the beach or rocks below.

A bit rough at times (see photos) so were sensible shoes, but worth the effort

Great views and lots of butterflies.
Great walk with lots of views but a bit steep in parts. We were there in June and there were lots of butterflies to create a beautiful vista on walk.
