Hike: Gerringong to Kiama (Kiama Coast Walk)

Distance: ~14.5km (From Gerringong Train Station; subtract a few kms if starting from the official start point at the northern end of Werri Beach)

This is the southern part of the Kiama Coast Walk (I'd previously walked the Minnamurra to Kiama section - not an unpleasant walk but a lot of it was through residential streets with no view to speak of).



A relaxing coastal walk with some pleasant scenery made up of lots of rolling green hills, cliffs, and ocean views.

An easy way to complete the walk without bothering with a car is to take a train to Gerringong Station and complete the walk at Kiama Station for the trip home. Starting at Gerringong Station adds about 2kms to the trek but it's easy walking through suburban streets. There are a few takeaway places on the main street, if you need to fuel up before the walk.

After leaving the town behind, the views quickly switch to green fields and sea as far as the eye can... see.

All up, a pleasant and very accessible walk. The path is straightforward for the most part, although it does go cut along a few different streets and between properties when in Kiama. A nice way to spend a few hours.
