Bicentennial Walk Forster
The Bicentennial Walk and Frewins Walk Foster offer a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area, ending at the stunning One Mile Beach in Forster.
The best things about this walk is how much the scenery changes in a short distance. One moment you’re under coastal rainforest canopy, then suddenly looking out across the ocean.
The Bicentennial Walk is particularly known for its panoramic views. Along the walk you will come across a variety of native flora and fauna. The walk is well-maintained, making it accessible for walkers of all fitness levels, and it provides numerous vantage points where you can pause to take in the breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding cliffs.
The Coastal Walk Forster Leads To Many Beautiful Places
The walk continues down to Pebbly Beach after the large pebbles that cover the beach. I found the sound of the waves washing over the pebbles loud and at first I wondered what the noise was. It is quite intense.
If you plan ahead pack a picnic to enjoy, there are picnic tables, toilets and a children's playground alongside the track near Pebbly Beach.
COASTAL WALK BRACELET
I love this walk so much that I handcrafted a bracelet to match its energy. The earthy wooden beads reflect the littoral canopy, while the recycled glass captures the ocean below.
The Tanks Swimming Area
A favourite spot is a swimming area called "The Tanks" which is a formation of rocks that on low tide creates a great swimming and snorkelling area. Despite the waves, a barrier is created by the rocks creating a shallow, calm swimming area. There is easy access to the water and there are plenty of chairs for parents to keep a watchful eye on their children.
Take in the breathtaking scenery that makes Forster a must visit place in NSW.
Frewins Walk
Following the Bicentennial Walk, you come to Frewins Walk, which continues to showcase the stunning coastal environment.
There are plenty of resting places to enjoy the tranquility.
Spectacular Views on Bicentennial Walk Forster
The views are amazing especially on a clear day, at sunrise and at sunset.
The best part of this walk it is a combination of vast ocean views and the peacefulness of a littoral rainforest.
As you wander through the rainforest it takes you to a rather steep hill, so you will need to have some level of fitness. The journey is well worth it when you reach the lookout.
The walk up the hill has plenty of distractions with the ocean, birds and some beautiful Norfolk Pines.
Don't look down if you are afraid of heights though once you step out on to Bennetts Head Lookout.
As you continue on your journey, you will enter into tunnels made of the canopy of trees and bush.
As mentioned that there are plenty of photo opportunities so if you are a keen photographer bring your gear.
At the end of the walk you will find yourself at One Mile Beach at the top of a huge sand dune. It's a great place for kids to play running down the hill and climbing back up. One Mile Beach Forster has a Littoral Rainforest walk, carp parking and kiosk.
The walk takes me about one hour round trip.
The Bicentennial Walk and Frewins Walk not only offers a chance to exercise but also allows you to fully appreciate the natural beauty and tranquility of Forster. With its combination of scenic views, wildlife encounters, and the sounds of the ocean, this walk is the place to appreciate the wonders of our Planet.
