We hiked to the lookout, then hiked down to the beach. It states 1.5 hrs return from lookout, but going down took 30-40 minutes as it is down hill. Once you get to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful. We spent some time relaxing there, you can walk along the water, spend as long as you want, even go for a swim! Toilets are located here also. You can continue to the Hazards beach or walk back up to the top. Beware, this is strenuous, 1000 steps back up. We stopped few times to rest as we are only moderately fit. But it was all worth it. Must do if you can.

Walking out onto the Coles Bay jetty made us wish we had bought our fishing gear with us this trip. Incredibly clear blue water allows you to watch the fish and squid swim past. Grab a pie and coffee from the bakery and wander out for a very restful lunch.
4. Honeymoon Bay

Honeymoon Bay is tiny, very tiny, but an absolute gem. It has a small beach that boats can pull into, and good, sheltered safe swimming. From the beach, or off the gently sloping rocks you can then snorkel around the bay, and out into the more open water, in perfect safety. Wonderful shallow reefs and soft corals and sea grass bed teeming with fish. And, in the evening, wallabies come down to the beach to eat and pose for pictures. There are toilets some distance behind the beach and picnic facilities, and plenty of shade. There’s a fair bit of parking, but I expect on busy days this would fill up fast

We stayed overnight at the Friendly Beaches camp ground - a free camp overlooking the beach. Sites are made separate by natural vegetation. You cannot book so first in best dressed. No power or running water. Drop toilets with toilet paper but no hand washing facility. An amazing location - spectacular scenery. Cold overnight so rug up. Would recommend.
6. Hazards Beach

We love the walk up to the lookout, down to Wineglass bay, cross the isthmus, get to Hazards Beach and then back along the coast. They say 5 hours but we do it in about 4 and we are not the fastest walkers.
