Description

The obvious cliff line of solid banded rock on the northern side of Grassy Head.

Access issues inherited from Grassy Head

Park at the visitors parking in Grassy Head Holiday Park and walk to headland via trail or beach.

Approach

Follow trail over grassy headland or access from the south end of the beach and rock hop.

Ethic inherited from Grassy Head

This area is frequented by locals, fishermen and tourists alike. While much of the rock here is solid there is also a fair amount of actively eroding rock, particularly the overhangs at the righthand end of Rock Band Wall. Grassy Head may be a culturally sensitive area. Please be respectful when climbing here and avoid unnecessarily damaging rock. http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nswcultureheritage/grassyheads.htm
