Bushwalk at Hawks Nest

This article was first published in www.ozehols.com.au, http://www.ozehols.com.au/blog/new-south-wales/bushwalk-at-hawks-nest/

Yacaaba walking track begins from Hawks Nest Beach also known as Bennetts Beach. The initial section of the walk is a well informed path, meandering its way through a tall open forest and the track offers spectacular views. Be mindful since the final section to the top of the headland is very steep and unformed, its more suitable for experienced walkers. There is no formal lookout, but the top is marked by an old survey point. If you are exploring this track, allow three hours for a return journey.

If you are planning a holiday in this beautiful region, Port Stephens holiday accommodation can be found in OzeHols. There are plenty of holiday accommodation in Port Stephens to fit your budget.
