Greta Beach
A secluded small beach on the southeast coast and a green turtle nesting site, reached by a steep staircase down the cliff.
Greta Beach is tucked beneath cliffs on the southeast coast. The beach is small and rarely visited, surrounded by dense rainforest, and in summer it is where green turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. From the car park you walk and descend steep wooden stairs and rope sections to reach the sea, so it suits visitors in good physical condition. Surf outside the beach is strong, so swimming is not advised. The focus is on photography, watching hermit crabs and exploring rock pools. It can be combined with Dolly Beach and Margaret Knoll on the same day. The road is unsealed, so a four-wheel drive is recommended.
