Green Head

To reach Green Head, drive down to the Tasman Peninsula and at Taranna turn onto the B37, follow to Premaydena and turn onto C341 and drive to Lime Bay. Park anywhere in the large parking area.
I started the walk at 0800 and walked up a vehicle track for about 0.8 kms. before heading into the bush and up over Black Rock Hill. I soon found a pad that ran right around Green Head to Lagoon Beach.

The walking was easy and the only climb was Black Rock Hill, and that was miniscule. The pad was easy to follow and just past the northern tip of Green Head I descended to the beach. It was a little tricky getting down to the beach but I managed it okay.

After climbing back up I continued on and climbed down to a couple of the larger beaches and walked along them to finally arrive at Lagoon Beach.

One of the larger beaches

Lagoon Beach is a nice flat beach with white sand and I walked along it before exiting over the dunes to find a track that ran around beside the lagoon.

I chose to walk around the southern edge of the lagoon but it would have been just as easy to do the northern side.

Entering the lagoon area

As I walked around I came across some large water filled ruts where some idiots had been driving 4WDs. It is so disappointing when people do stupid things like that. Vehicles are not supposed to be here!!

Someones stupidity

After finding a track on the eastern side of the lagoon, I followed this back to the car.
This was a very enjoyable walk with great coastal scenery and is a quite flat and easy walk.
