Women Embrace Hiking Bouddi Coastal Loop Walk

About the Hike: 

Beautiful vistas, scrumptious morning tea AND lunch and homemade baked goods are just some of the highlights you'll discover on this hike! This is a loop walk taking in the sights of Bouddi National Park and it is rich in beautiful scenery. Walking from Putty Beach, we'll make our way to Maitland Bay and Mt Bouddi with some side-track scrambles. We'll stop for some morning tea along the way. 

Boasting beaches, boardwalks and birdlife, Bouddi's coastal walk is known as one of the most picturesque of the Central Coast walks. This moderate to hard hike, covering up to 12 km and about 500 metre gain/loss,  is characterised by sweeping views, shady rainforest and inviting picnic spots. There’s a photo opportunity around every corner on Bouddi coastal walk. Bouddi National Park is the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors and we hope you can join us.
