FINGAL PICNIC AREA

Public BBQ

A quiet, spacious picnic ground under huge trees near Cape Schanck, sheltered from the wind, with five large tables, electric barbecues, toilets stocked with paper, drinking water and plenty of parking. It works as a picnic spot in its own right and as the start of some of the best short walking on the peninsula: a loop down to the beach lookout, tracks to the cliffs and rockpools, and a route on towards the lighthouse. Be ready for a great many steps if you go down to the beach, and a solid climb back to the car park. Watch for snakes in the warmer months. There is a take-in, take-out rubbish policy. The barbecues and the water tap have both been found out of order at times.
