About

Bittangabee Bay to Green Cape walking track is in the southern section of Beowa National Park (formerly Ben Boyd National Park). The walk follows a route that lightkeepers have travelled over many years. Originally, supplies for the lighthouse were offloaded at Bittangabee Bay. If you look closely, you'll see remnants of the old horse-drawn tram track as you walk this moderate track.

Wander around the surroundings of Green Cape Lightstation, with informative signs detailing its operation. If you're keen to discover more, guided tours and accommodation are available. The rocky cape is an ideal spot to look for seals, dolphins and migrating whales.

Tracing a path through bushland and remote beaches, you can stop for a spot of fishing along the way. Rare ground parrots and striated field wrens can also be seen from time to time around the forested areas. In spring, the area blooms with wildflowers. Green Cape is an ideal start or end point on the Great Light to Light walk, which continues all the way north to Boyds Tower.
