Women's Otford Coastal Hike Sunday 22nd March

Details

If you're ready for a coastal track that covers hidden coves and beaches then this is the trip for you.

After meeting at Otford Car Park, our hike heads up stairs on the seaward side with stunning views, winding up the hill and along the fenced of cliffs, keeping the ocean to the right as it steadily climbs up the coastal track. After a while, the track breaks away from the cliff and continues along the bush track, climbing up the hill until coming to an intersection marked with a signpost saying 'Werrong Beach'.

We will be taking it slow on this day with many hills and of course stopping frequently for rest breaks.

On this moderate to hard day hike we will discover the stunning beaches below the cliffes at our morning tea location north of Burning Palms Beach. Bring your swimmers for a dip!
