Eurobodalla Coastal Walk
The Eurobodalla Coastal Walk is a spectacular 30-kilometre track that hugs the pristine coastline of the NSW South Coast, offering a journey through ancient forests, secluded beaches, and dramatic headlands. This multi-day walk is a true gem for nature lovers, with each section revealing a new facet of the region's raw beauty, from the granite boulders of Bingi Dreaming Track to the turquoise waters of Congo Beach.
Highlights & What to See
- Bingi Dreaming Track – A culturally significant section featuring ancient Aboriginal middens, rock platforms, and panoramic ocean views.
- Mossy Point to Broulee Island – Spot dolphins and seabirds as you cross Broulee Beach and explore the island's walking trails.
- Congo Beach – A stunning, undeveloped beach perfect for a quiet picnic and a swim in the clear waters.
- Batemans Bay Marine Park – The walk passes through this protected area, where you can see stingrays, sea eagles, and migrating whales (May–November).
- Tomaga River Estuary – A serene spot for birdwatching, with mangroves and sandflats teeming with birdlife.
- Broulee Beach – A popular surf beach with a laid-back vibe, ideal for a post-walk coffee at the local café.
Suggested Time to Spend
The full walk can be completed in 2–3 days, but most travellers tackle it in sections. For a rewarding day hike, do the 8 km from Mossy Point to Broulee Island, allowing 4–5 hours with stops for swimming and photography. If you have more time, a 2-day itinerary with an overnight stop at one of the coastal campgrounds lets you soak in the sunsets and starlit skies. Plan for a relaxed pace—this is a walk to savour, not rush.
