Whales Watching along Kurnell to Cronulla: Botany Bay Coastal Walk ~16 KM

Join us for a stunning coastal walk along the Kurnell to Cronulla section, through the scenic Botany Bay National Park - and maybe a secrect cave. This route offers beautiful ocean views, historical sites, and whales watching opportunities along much of the path. Afterwards, we’ll relax with a late lunch in Cronulla at a local pub. Good fitness is recommended, and also long beach/sand walking is involved!

Before you RSVP, be sure to read the following:

• Difficulty: Medium to Hard, mostly harbourside with bushlands, rocky surfaces, and some elevation gains.
• Start at Prince Charles Pde bus stop opp Kurnell Post Office after 9 am. Take 987 from Cronulla Station at 09:45 AM to reach there if using public transport, finish at Cronulla Station late afternoon. If driving, use station car park.
• Route: We’ll start at our meeting point and head to Prince Charles Parade, walking the Monument Track past Captain Cook’s Landing Place. Next, we’ll take the Muru Trail to Cape Solander Lookout (and a quick walk to the secrect cave nearby as pictured, only if weather permits and path is open, or we'll skip), followed by Cape Baily Coastal Track to the lighthouse, Boat Harbour Aquatic Reserve, and a long walk on Cronulla Beach before the finish near the station for an easy train ride home!
