Best Coastal Hike of 2024: Bouddi, Macmaster’s Beach to Killcare Beach, TOP PUB!

Grab my arm for this coastal / beach hike. It’s a stunner. It's so fahkin' good, I'm doing it Saturday and Sunday with an over nite stay. We hiked the BOUDDI COASTAL HIKE a few months back,..

It was grey. It was damn windy… but even so, it was absolutely beautiful. HARDY'S HIDEAWAY after was really, really unique for a drink and bite. At the end, my thought (I wasn’t alone) was “This might be my favourite of the year, and I must do it again to see the trails, cliffside(s), and beaches when the sun is out…”

BOUDDI COASTAL HIKE – MACMASTER’S BEACH TO KILLCARE BEACH
(PLEASE NOTE: This is a 3.5hrs hike. Join Saturday. Join Sunday. I just loved it so much, I'm keen to host groups both days.) I’m hiking it Saturday (staying over – you don’t have to) and Sunday. Pick a day (or pick both), and join me. It’s not far at all considering it’s 8 train stops from Central Station. Here we go…

If you’re a tik tok’r here’s a VIDEO of the hike and also the text from the interwebber:
The Bouddi coastal walk runs from MacMasters Beach. to Putty Beach. Boasting beaches, boardwalks and birdlife, it’s known as one of the most beautiful central coast walks. This relatively easy hike is characterised by sweeping views, shady rainforest and inviting picnic spots.

There’s a photo opportunity around every corner on the Bouddi Coastal Hike. You might see wildflowers or migrating whales from Gerrin Point lookout along with the Bouddi National Park Marine Extension and the PS Maitland shipwreck at the eastern end of Maitland Bay.

The lookouts are 10/10 beautiful. The beaches are 10/10 beautiful. We’ll definitely stop for a swim. Bring swimmers, or go nude – I don’t give a shit. It’s Mother Nature at its finest so do as you fancy. It’s 11kms in length with some big inclines, so be fit and ready for this one.

Our walk starts at MacMaster's Beach Cafe (pic) at 11:00am sharp, and it finishes at Hardy's Hideaway for drinks and food.

THE DETAILS:
a) Non-drivers (that's me). Central Station to Woy Woy. I'll be on the train leaving Central Station at 848am ARRIVING @ Woy Woy at 10:03am. Join me. We can Uber to MacMaster's Beach together - approx $8 -10 per person (please bring $CASH$ - you'll be splitting with others).
b) Drivers. Some can park at MacMaster's. Some can park at Hardy’s Hideaway. You can swap with one another to start / finish. To discuss, join whatsapp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HD1sue0CaALFxLGBbCoYbj
c) Hardy's Hideaway is an easy Uber back to Woy Woy, hitch a ride with a driver, or there’s also a ferry from Wagstaffe (close to the pub) to Palm Beach - it sounds beautiful.
d) Our normal walks are pretty light hearted / relaxed. This is proper hiking of 11kms... so, be fit and ready for a big day. Let's enjoy nature and some of the best views in Australia. Less phones, more nature and time for pics.
e) BYO lunch, water, etc... that kind of thing. You’ll love Hardy’s at the end.
f) $10 cash or PayID for this one.
g) RSVP… honour your decision. Late no-shows / cancels are bullshit for these epic sessions – people want to meet you and vice versa, it’s what makes our group the best.
h) Send me a note 0439 635 699 if you’re thinking of an over nite stay.

See you in 2025!
Friendly hug. MJ
