Please note

• This walking track is quite long and requires a good level of fitness, but you can return back to Maloneys Beach at any point.
• You’ll find places to stop for a swim, snorkel or picnic, so pack your towel and goggles.
• Remember to take your binoculars if you want to birdwatch or spot a whale.

Starting from the grassy foreshore at Maloneys Beach with views over to Batemans Bay and the resident kangaroos, the walk presents a daunting climb up stairs to the headland. This will get your heart pumping and is the hardest climb of the day.

Once on the headland you walk through a forest and down to Yellow Rock and then onto North Head Beach. Head past North Head campground and up to North Head lookout which will give you wonderful views over to Honeysuckle Bay.

It’s then over Oaky Beach and back into dense forest scenery before the forest provides vantage points into secluded bays like Richmond Beach, Myrtle Beach, Dark Beach and Emily Miller Beach. Wasp Head provides your last headland before dropping down onto the beach again at South Durras near the resort. Enjoy a well-deserved rest here and grab something to eat.

Fit walkers can challenge themselves back to Maloneys Beach or arrange a car shuffle at South Durras. You could even stay the night and then walk back the next day. This walk can be made shorter at any point by returning to Maloneys Beach.
