Tea Tree Bay is more than just a beach; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including koalas, which sometimes inhabit the surrounding trees. The walk to the bay along the Coastal Walk also offers spectacular views from lookouts like Boiling Pot and Dolphin Point.
