Women's Otford Coastal Hike Saturday 23rd July

Join Women Want Adventure for a coastal hike as we immerse ourselves in the beautiful Royal National Park. Walking downward into Burning Palms Beach to view the impressive cliffs, stunning beaches and spotting ocean-life as we go.

This hiking day trip is a beautiful opportunity for women to spend time in nature and build relationships with like-minded women who enjoy getting outdoors and hiking.

We ll meet and greet at Otford Car Park, before walking down toward Burning Palms Beach for a cuppa tea and rest stop. If it s a warm day, dip in!

The track breaks away from cliff views with a taste of bush before climbing up the hill and coming to an intersection marked with a signpost saying 'Werrong Beach'. It s absolutely stunning and our next rest stop for lunch. After our bellies are full, we ll complete the full circuit back to our starting location.
