Patonga to Pearl Beach Walking Track

Spring is made for walking, and the Patonga to Pearl Beach trail is a classic. Part of the Great North Walk, this 3km track takes you through Brisbane Water National Park, past aromatic eucalypts, and out to Warrah Lookout. The reward? Sweeping views of the Hawkesbury River and Pacific Ocean.

Afterwards, cool off with a dip at Pearl Beach or set up a picnic by the water. It’s a great way to take in the crisp spring air and the region’s natural beauty.
