An exquisite white sandy beach with nearby picnic tables, and some wonderful seabirds to be seen.
Track details

Keep off the soft sand which is important habitat for shorebirds like the Pied and Sooty Oystercatchers. Hansson's* beach can be followed south for a good half a kilometre before rounding the small headland of two tree point and continuing along to Hewn Stone Head, before returning. (* On some maps you’ll also see this referred to as either Barker’s beach or Dunckel’s beach). Two tree point is named after the two trees at its northern end – thought to be the very same two trees noted by Captain James Cook in 1777.
