Iron Ladder Beach

A perfect Autumn morning for a paddle. 

Starting at Ettalong Beach

I crossed to Half Tide Rocks on Wagstaffe Point and Lobster Beach. 

The channel between the Ettalong Bar and Little Box Head is narrow and I tucked into the rocks and waited while it passed. 

Little Box Head 

At Lobster Beach the NPWS were attempting to remove a large tractor tyre from the beach. Half buried in the sand it was too heavy for this boat to drag it out. 

A landslide/rockfall at the end of the beach had been cordoned off. 

I went on a bit further towards Box Head and just sat and took in the views for a while. A lovely glassy swell. 

Box Head where the swell was breaking over the lower rock platform in a big way. 

An unnamed creek near Iron Ladder Beach.

Then I paddled around to Wagstaffe

For a coffee and hot chips with a few new friends. 

A small breeze came up and allowed me to sail all the back to Ettalong.

Just under 10klm and  3hrs all up
