Green Head: Coast, Bays and Art

Green Head sits on a distinctive headland; the coastline gives the place a clear character. The Three Bays Walk follows the shoreline to views of three bays, Point Louise is known for surfing and snorkelling, and galleries add a cultural touch to the activities by the water. Fishing and the plant life of the wider region are also among the topics that make Green Head interesting when planning a trip.

Coastal Walk and Three Bays

The Three Bays Walk starts at Cliff Park on Ocean View Drive. The coastal walk is 2.8 km long, follows the shoreline and offers views of South Bay, Dynamite Bay and Little Anchorage. With this specific route length and three named viewpoints, the walk can be considered a standalone activity for a coastal stay. The route thus combines a clearly defined stretch of trail with views of several bays.

Water, Surfing and Snorkelling

Dynamite Bay has calm, turquoise water. Point Louise is Green Head’s main surfing spot and also an excellent place to snorkel. This brings different water-based interests to the fore: Point Louise combines two activities at one named location, while Dynamite Bay stands out above all for its waterscape. If you prefer to plan your days around either an activity or the character of a bay, this contrast offers clear guidance.

Galleries with Coastal Art

The Blue Ocean Gallery, run by Adrian and Irene Toomey, is opposite Dynamite Bay and includes an outdoor sculpture park. The Green Head Gallery Cafe is associated with coastal landscape artist Deb O’Brien. These art connections give Green Head a cultural side alongside the coast and activities on the water. If you want to include different interests in your trip planning, galleries can be a focus in their own right.

Fishing and Maritime Facilities

Both beach and offshore fishing are possible in Green Head. The Green Head Maritime Facility is near the town centre and includes a service jetty, a boat ramp, fish-cleaning facilities and parking. South Bay also has a boat ramp. The facility brings together several named amenities; in South Bay, the boat ramp is the specific maritime reference point. This makes it possible to distinguish between the types of fishing available and the local facilities.

Nature in the Wider Region

East of Green Head, in the wider region, lies Lesueur National Park, with over 900 plant species. This adds a different perspective on nature to the coastal attractions: plant diversity broadens the view beyond bays and water. If nature in the wider area is also among your travel interests, the park provides a distinct focus alongside experiences in Green Head.
