Bob had suggested this below cliff coastal walk but we had never got around to doing it for various reasons. But with a low tide and a low swell forecast, it now seemed like a good option.
Previously, Bob and myself had competed the coastal walk just north of this one – from Burning Palms to Werrong, and a number of other interesting coastal walks below sea cliffs.
Here are some –
- Burning Palms to Werrong – December 2023
- Under the cliffs near Curracurrang and Wattamolla – June 2026
- North Head Undercliff Walk – May 2017
- Dee Why to Curl Curl – October 2024
- Clifton to Bulli – November 2024
These had all been very interesting and worthwhile.
On this trip there was Bob, Doug, Nipper, Airdrie and myself.
We first stopped at the lookout at Stanwell Tops for a coffee.

Then to Otford, where we parked at the top of the track. We could look down and see Bulgo –
We then walked a short way north along the Royal Coast Track, then turned off down the track to Werrong Beach.
Here we are arriving at Werrong Beach.
Werrong is a “clothing optional” beach, but swimming is not permitted due to dangerous rips.
We then started walking south.
Most of the walk to Bulgo was on easy boulders.
We could look back, north, and see the more channalnging walking route from Burning Palms to Werrong.
And we are now approaching the shacks of Bulgo.
We also saw a dead dolphin –
Bulgo is a shack town like Burning Palms, Era and Garie.
There are some nice rock platforms here.
We continued a short way south.
And reached a sea cave –
The next bit of the coast south looks a bit more challenging.
We then climbed up to an open grassy area, and soon joined a walking track back to Otford.

The track goes up to the Otford Pantry (cafe), but a short way before you hit the road, there is a new track, constructed by NPWS that takes you back to the Coast Track carpark.
