Please note

• Frazer Beach is only patrolled during Christmas and Easter school holidays. The surf can be unpredictable so please be extremely cautious when swimming.
• The nearby lagoon is a safe paddling spot.

You can hike the Grass tree track on a quick 1.4km return journey, starting from either Frazer beach or Wybung Road.

It’s ideal for beachgoers and campers at Frazer campground who want a short but challenging walk to Wybung Head lookout. The lookout is 10 minutes from the trailhead at Wybung Road, but well worth the extra steps. It’s the perfect spot to spy whales as they migrate from May to June and August to November. 

If you park near Wybung Head lookout, walk downhill to Frazer Beach for a paddle in the calm tidal lagoon. Be extremely careful if you’re swimming in the surf as the beach is only patrolled by surf life savers during Christmas and Easter holidays.

Remember to bring binoculars to spot birds as you travel through the heathland. You may see a white-bellied sea eagle gliding overhead, a southern emu wren perched on a shrub or a lorikeet feeding on flowering grass tree spikes. Look out for seasonal blooms of banksias, grevilleas and mint bushes.

If you have time, you can explore more of Munmorah State Conservation Area by extending your walk along Geebung walking track.
