Starting from Kiama Blowhole car park, Kiama, this track stretches from Kiama Blowhole to Loves Bay and offers a delightful exploration of the stunning coastal scenery. This is the second of the three sections of Kiama Coastal Walk. Begin your journey at the iconic Blowhole Point, where you can witness the natural phenomenon of water shooting up from the blowhole. Continuing along the trail, you'll encounter the picturesque Kendalls Beach, a pristine stretch of sand perfect for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing swim. Further down the way, don't miss the enchanting sight of the Little Blowhole, where seawater surges into a narrow rock formation, creating a miniature version of the famous blowhole. As you continue your walk, the golden shores of Surf Beach will captivate you with their inviting beauty. Finally, the trail leads you to the serene and secluded Loves Bay, a tranquil oasis nestled between rugged cliffs. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
