Women Embrace Hiking & Whales Caves Beach, NSW

A hike with scenery to rival the great walks around the world, what can we say, except this is a spectacular part of the world to wander around! Join us to explore this beautiful coast and watch the Whales as they migrate along the coastline and share a yummy morning tea on a picturesque headland.

About the Hike: Wallarah Coastal Walk is approx 9 km, a grade 4, return hike that will take us about 4 hrs to complete. We'll start at Caves Beach and travel along the coastline, where there are many opportunities to stop, relax, take photos of the amazing scenery and do some whale watching. We'll meander through coastal heath vegetation, along rocky outcrops and through bushlands before stopping for morning tea and homemade snacks at a beautiful headland. If we're lucky, we'll see lots of humpbacks make their way up the coastline to the warm waters of tropical North Queensland.
