Beautiful Bittangabee Bay

Another short drive off the highway along a few dirt tracks led us to Bittangabee Bay where Emily, Tom and kids had spent the previous night.  Located in Ben Boyd National Park, Bittangabee Campground one of the pitstops on the renowned Light to Light walk, a 30km coastal trail between Boyd's Tower and Green Cape Lighthouse.

What a wonderful place! Perched on the headland, the campground was organised but not overly so. There were pit toilets, gas bbq but no showers and each site had it's own fire pit. A short walk away was Bittangabee Bay, a small beach nestled between two rock shelves.



The walk to the beach began by following a short steep trail to the Storehouse ruins before clambered over the rocks. The Storehouse and jetty were built in 1881 by Albert Aspinall as Bittangabee Bay was the nearest safe anchorage point from Eden. It served as a storeroom for the material being used to construct the Green Cape Lighthouse located 7km away.

We spent what was left of the afternoon cleansing ourselves in the chilly water. A refreshing end to the day!
