Embrace Hiking & Lunch Patonga to Pearl Beach, Central Coast, NSW

About the Hike: 

Join us as we walk from beautiful Patonga to Pearl Beach and back again - about a 9 km round trip. This walk explores a section of Brisbane Water National Park between the quaint villages of Patonga and Pearl Beach on the Central Coast of NSW.  We'll take in stunning ocean views in all directions on this moderate-day walk through towering red gums and eucalypts. We'll pass sandstone caves with a natural hanging garden of native ferns and will take some time to stop and enjoy the spectacular Warrah Lookout with views across Palm Beach and Lion Island across the Hawkesbury River. Once back in Patonga, we'll have a delicious lunch at the fantastic Boathouse Hotel; the pizzas and the views are outstanding!
