Green Head

Green Head lies on a distinctive headland and combines coastal experiences with its own cultural and natural attractions. The Three Bays Walk, bays with calm turquoise water, surfing, snorkelling and fishing give your trip planning a variety of possible focuses. There are also two galleries and Lesueur National Park in the wider regional area. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment in Green Head, you can start by considering which of these sides of the town you’d like to shape your holiday.

Coastal walk with views of three bays

The Three Bays Walk starts at Cliff Park on Ocean View Drive in Green Head. The coastal walk is 2.8 km long and follows the shoreline. As a clearly defined route, it can be included as a dedicated item in your day’s plans; allow for the full length of the walk. Along the way, the walk offers views of South Bay, Dynamite Bay and Little Anchorage. These three names belong to the viewpoints along the route and give it a specific connection to the coastal landscape.

The route is one way to experience Green Head on foot, with views of the bays. If you’re planning your trip around this kind of coastal scenery, you can take the Three Bays Walk into account as an important point of reference when choosing where to stay. The other activities suit different interests: Point Louise is Green Head’s main surfing spot and is also an excellent place to snorkel.

Water, boating and fishing

Dynamite Bay is known for its calm, turquoise water. Point Louise adds surfing and snorkelling to this coastal setting; both activities are highlighted as special opportunities in the area. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between different interests on the water without grouping them together as a single activity. South Bay has a boat ramp.

There are also specific options for travellers interested in boating or fishing: both beach and offshore fishing are possible in Green Head. The Green Head Maritime Facility includes a service jetty, a boat ramp, fish-cleaning facilities and parking. These facilities are a practical feature of the area in their own right. They can help you identify a personal focus for your visit to Green Head, but they do not indicate that any particular accommodation has specific facilities.

Art and nature as other reasons to visit

Alongside its coastal activities, Green Head also has cultural attractions. The Green Head Gallery Cafe is associated with coastal landscape artist Deb O’Brien. The Blue Ocean Gallery, run by Adrian and Irene Toomey, is opposite Dynamite Bay and includes an outdoor sculpture park. Together, these are two distinct art venues in the town: a gallery cafe associated with an artist and a gallery with an outdoor sculpture park.

Another natural attraction lies east of Green Head in the wider region: Lesueur National Park, with more than 900 plant species. Its plant diversity makes the park a reason in its own right to include the region’s natural environment in your travel plans. Together with the coastal walk, it offers different ways to experience the area, from the shoreline and its bays to the diverse plant life in the surrounding region.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Green Head, you can start with your holiday priorities: would you most like to experience the coastal walk and bays, are you interested in fishing and boating facilities, or do galleries and nature feature in your plans?
