SUMMARY:Pearl Beach to Patonga Walk
DESCRIPTION:This is the year we get out and enjoy more of the beautiful world around us! \nPlease join us for a relaxed walk from Pearl Beach to Patonga on the Central Coast. \nWe’ll carpool to Pearl Beach from Newcastle and Lake Macquarie\, walk to Patonga for lunch at The Boathouse (or BYO lunch to eat on the beach) then walk back to Pearl Beach. \nExpect to see magnificent coastal views\, have morning tea in a cave\, and make new friends on the trail. \nHere are the details: \nWhen: Sunday 11 January\nWalk: Pearl Beach to Patonga\, lunch then return\n\nDistance: 8 to 9kms\nElevation: approximately 250m\nCost: free\nWhat To Bring: minimum 500ml water per person (water bottles can be refilled at Patonga for the walk back)\, snacks for morning and afternoon tea\, a way to pay for lunch at the pub or BYO lunch to eat on the beach\, swimmers and a towel if you want to take a dip at Pearl Beach at the end of the walk\, sunscreen and insect repellent\n\n\nWhat To Wear: fully enclosed shoes such as walking boots or joggers/sneakers\, sun-safe clothing and a hat\n\n\n\nImportant Info: there’s likely to be a water crossing when we get to Patonga. It’s less than 10 metres wide and usually below knee height so be prepared to take off your shoes and socks and roll up your pant legs. If walking barefoot through water and/or on sand is not for you\, bring some reef shoes or thongs to change into for that section.\n\n\nTiming: We have a meeting point at 8am in Lake Macquarie – please register for the details. We will condense into fewer cars and hop onto the highway for the approximately one hour journey to Pearl Beach.\n\n\nWant to join us?\n\nPlease complete the booking form and we’ll be in touch.
