The Hike
View from the headlands north of Garie Beach, looking south. The Coast Track is approximately 26km and can be walked in either direction - Northbound or Southbound.
Heading southbound from Bundeena you have approximately 6km of cliff top walking before reaching the Big Marley and Little Marley beaches. Another 4.5km or so and you will reach the Wattamolla Lagoon where there is sealed road access and family picnic areas. Wattamolla has a camp ground at Providential Point, which is the recommended camping site for northbound walkers - a paid permit is required to camp here.
Garie is approximately 6.5km south of Wattamolla, where there is once again sealed road access to the patrolled surf beach. Just past the headlands south of Garie is North Era, which is the recommended camp grounds for Southbound walkers - a paid permit is also required to camp here.
There is only 9km from Garie to Otford, and the end of the hike. If using public transport, simply follow the road for a couple of hundred meters and turn right down the very steep Beaumont Road (Google Map.) which will take you straight to Otford train station.
Bundeena to Marley = 6km
Marley to Wattamolla = 4.5km
Wattamolla to Garie = 6.5km
Garie to Otford = 9km
