Salt spray and wind sharpen the first steps onto the headland as the Green Cape Lighthouse rises ahead—white stone set against a wide blue horizon that dares you to follow it. Over three nights, the route threads coastal heath, wind-sculpted eucalypts and rocky shore platforms, alternating between quiet bays where seals rest and exposed ridgelines that open onto Disaster Bay.
