Bouddi National Park Central Coast: Coastal Walk, Beaches and Killcare

Bouddi National Park, on the southern Central Coast about 100 kilometres north of Sydney, contains one of the best coastal walking experiences in New South Wales. The Bouddi Coastal Walk runs approximately 8.5 kilometres from Putty Beach to MacMasters Beach (or the full 30-kilometre Bulgandlah Loop), passing through heath and spotted gum forest, across beaches and headlands with views over Broken Bay and the Pacific. Hardys Bay, Killcare and Pretty Beach are small communities within or adjacent to the park, popular as weekender destinations for Sydney residents. The park has basic campgrounds at Putty Beach and Little Beach, bookable through NSW National Parks. Entry to the park is free; camping carries a nightly fee.
