Well maintained and signed. Several options to cross over to the beach.

Very nice and easy walk, I did it while 8 months pregnant. Our 2.5 year old enjoyed getting there by the ferry! We will do this walk again!

This was a really lovely walk and provided good views across the ocean from multiple vantage points around the island. Great day ending with a swim and lunch from the cafe.

This is a lovely walk, especially at this time of year. If you don't drive the public transport to Victoria Point Jetty is good. Red Rock Cafe on the Island is also a nice place to have lunch and is reasonably priced. This is the link to the ferry and bus timetables www.coochiemudlo.net/html/ferry.html
Happy bushwalking :)
