Bouddi Coastal Walk – 8.5km one way
The Bouddi Coastal Walk is one of the most beautiful walks on the Central Coast and is not for the faint-hearted, but the benefits are well worth it. Starting at either Putty Beach or Macmasters Beach, you will experience sweeping ocean views, cliff-side boardwalks, cool and shady rainforest, relaxing picnic spots and the opportunity to spot migrating whales from some of the amazing vantage points. For more information on this incredibly scenic walk, visit the National Parks website.
Bouddi National Park is always open, but may have to close at times due to poor weather or fire danger.
