Bouddi National Park

With secluded beaches, bays, rainforests, trails and thriving marine and wildlife, the park is incredible. You could spend days exploring it, or you could do the Bouddi National Park Coastal Walk. One of the most famous coastal walks in Australia, it’s the perfect snapshot of the Central Coast. Keep an eye out for migrating whales! Picnic and splash around at Somersby Falls.

The waterfall itself is stunning, and the surrounding area is perfect for picnics, with BBQs, tables, and lush rainforest views.

Maitland Bay

Pack a picnic and make your way to Maitland Bay. Walk down the 2km trail to the secluded bay, where you’ll find a shipwreck dating back to 1898. The bay is great at any time, and best at sunset.
