Wattamolla to Curracurrang Cove

Wattamolla to Curracurrang Cove is a 3.5 km (2.13 mi) out-and-back from the southern car park at Wattamolla Picnic Area. Follow the Coast Track to the creek-mouth cove, then return the same way. Allow about 1.5 hours for the walk itself. It is a useful taste of the coast without committing to the full Bundeena-to-Otford route.

The first stretch follows a broad, rocky service track with views opening along the headlands. Farther on, the route narrows to bush track and drops unevenly toward the cove. This is a moderate walk rather than a smooth beach promenade; take your time on the descent, especially if the ground is wet.

The route finishes where Curracurrang Creek meets the ocean, in a small inlet held between rocky headlands. The cove is the payoff, not the nearby Curracurrong Falls route, which continues farther along the Coast Track. From the approach, frame the creek mouth with the headland in view; then turn around and retrace the same track.

The walk is on Dharawal Country. Wattamolla is a picnic and barbecue area, but bring all your drinking water for the route. A seven-stop audio story follows this coastal section; download it before arriving because mobile reception is unavailable in this part of the park. Sea eagles and oystercatchers are among the birds to watch for around Wattamolla. Park entry fees apply. Dogs and other pets are not permitted in the park, except certified assistance animals.
