Women's Kiama Coast Walk Saturday 25th March

The best way to experience the beautiful coastlines of Kiama and Gerringong is by foot.

With spectacular ocean views, inviting detours and proximity to amenities and public transport, the Kiama Coast Walk is the perfect way to explore and enjoy the South Coast.

Trip highlights

• Embark on a scenic day walk through towns, beaches and farmland
• Explore coves and discover cultural history
• Walk at a slow pace with like-minded women
• Spot whales and dolphins on your journey

Meeting at the Blowhole Point Lookout in Kiama (near the lighthouse), we walk south towards Loves Bay. This stretch is open to sealed and unsealed paths as we make our way through the end of town.

Passing Little Blowhole with spectacular ocean views, we continue south before stopping in the shade of the beach trees for a morning tea and rest. After our break, we continue along beautiful grassy rolling hills, spotting whales as we walk.

Once we reach Werri Beach an organised shuttle will return the group to Kiama.

A m I fit enough for this walk?

The Kiama Coast Walk is rated as a more introductory trip, but does involve a longer stance (12km) of walking along beaches, grassy farmland, roads and sections of sock. It is therefore graded moderate, although there are many easy sections of road walking. We therefore recommend 1-2 hours of good cardiovascular exercise 2-3 times per week as part of your routine when undertaking a walk like this. Remember the fitter you are the more this will enhance your enjoyment and experience.
