Walks and Hikes in Eden

Gentle coastal walks with a view

From Reflections Eden holiday park, you can take a short, easy stroll south along the golden sands of Aslings Beach until you hit the rock pools in Apex Park. Marvel at the pink rock cliffs and have a casual splash around while you're there.

If dramatic views are your style, you won't want to miss out on Eden Lookout and Rotary Park. It's a prime spot to catch pods of whales as they migrate along the coast from May to November. And once your eyes have had their fill of the coastline, make your way back into town via Snug Cove for a saunter along the wharf.

Speaking of whales, make sure you stop by the Killer Whale Museum. The exhibits guide you through the whaling history of the area, including a chance to see Old Tom, the remains of a local marine celebrity.

Bundian Way Story Trail

Walk in the footsteps of the Aboriginal people from Yuin, Ngarigo, Jaitmathang, Bidawal Country on the ancient Bundian Way Story Trail. This long-distance trail spans approximately 365 km from Turemulerrer (Twofold Bay) to the Targangal mountain ranges (Mount Kosciuszko), giving you the opportunity to absorb the area's rich history and changing landscape.

Eden Heritage Walk

Eden's maritime heritage walk is a great way to really get to know the town and its history. Pick up a map at the Eden Visitor Information Centre and take yourself on a walking tour to cross paths with significant sites to learn about Eden's cultural history from convict times to today.

Adventure on foot (or two wheels!)

There's an assortment of green spaces to explore in and around Eden. From the mangrove forests of the Lake Curalo Boardwalk, to the Davidson Whaling Station on the southern side of Twofold Bay. Travel up and down the coastline for adventures of all sizes and flavours – it's the best way to make the most of the beautiful Sapphire Coast.

Beowa National Park

As a must-see destination, Beowa National Park (previously Ben Boyd National Park) is a natural amusement park for anyone who loves the outdoors. Alongside swimming, surfing and picnicking, you can take one of the more relaxed trails, like the Pambula River or Pinnacles loop walking tracks, or get the blood pumping via the more active Light to Light Walk.

Boyds Tower

Intersecting with the Light to Light Walk, the Boyds Tower Walking Track takes you up to Boyds Tower for some jaw-dropping vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding coast. It will take less than an hour out and back via the wheelchair-accessible boardwalk.

This mountain biking wonderland puts you in the wilds of the local bush to tackle some winding and undulating paths. Eden Gravity trails come in a variety of difficulty levels, making them suitable for first-time riders to seasoned pros.
