Mickeys Beach

Location: Cygnet
Time: 3 hrs
Grade: Easy
Located near Cygnet, this easy 2km return walk between Randalls Bay and Mickeys beach is an enjoyable way to spend an early morning or late afternoon when visiting the area.

From here views of Cray Point in the foreground and Bruny Island in the distance, across D’Entrecasteaux Channel, are achieved. The trial continues, gently meandering down to Mickeys Beach along a wide sandy track. Mickeys Beach is a pretty and secluded small beach with nice views. The trail returns via the same route.

For the next 2km, the trail undulates through muddy forests before steepening at the final ascent to the waterfall. Once at the falls, a number of tiered sections can be accessed via short side trails. The most impressive view is offered at the top and under the falls themselves. As the ground is incredibly slippery, care should be taken when walking near the falls.
