Lobster Beach — Attraction in Box Head

A secluded little beach with nary a lobster in sight, although there was a healthy community of tiny crabs. There is a composting toilet on the beach, on the right of the steps as you come down, tucked into the hillside. Didn’t see any rubbish bins, so take your litter with you!

It’s a destination you have to work to get to, and for me the effort was totally worth it. It starts from an innocent-looking path and builds up to a series of steps climbing a rather steep slope, and then down more steps on another rather steep slope...

Photos really don’t do this beach justice. One of the most beautiful beaches on the central coast and generally quite quiet compared to most beaches too.

Be warned that it is quite a steep hike both up and down to get to the beach and back to the car again. The steps are very hardy and the path is well sign posted. The walk to (and from) the beach to the car is only around 10-15 minutes if that!
