Cave Beach to Bherwerre Beach Walk

This easy Grade 2 walk starts at Cave Beach car park, follows the main trail to the campground, then takes the track from the camp's western side around Ryans Swamp to Bherwerre Beach. The park lists 900 m one way, so plan on about 1.8 km (1.12 miles) there and back. Allow 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how long you stop by the swamp and shore. Return by the same route; the separate fire-trail circuit is a longer 2.8 km loop.

The swamp is the point of interest on the way. The park says it draws swamp hens, egrets and ducks, and is also habitat for frogs, snakes and turtles. It's a good place to pause and look into the wetland, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Bherwerre is a long, south-facing ocean beach and a worthwhile turn-around for a short coastal walk. The Cave Beach camping area is about 300 m from the car park and has fresh water, public toilets, cold-water showers and barbecue facilities along the route. Pets are not permitted in Booderee National Park; a vehicle pass is required to drive in, while people entering on foot or bicycle do not need one.
