The Coast walking track runs through a narrow strip of coastal forest between Forresters and Bateau Bay beaches. Setting out from Bateau Bay picnic area, wander along clifftops past blackbutts and spotted gums, taking in stunning views over the ocean and spotting an array of birds. In spring the wildflowers in this area come into bloom, with ground orchids and flannel flowers on display.  This 6km return track is easy to follow and a great one for families, with the option of breaking the walk up into shorter loops or arranging a pick-up at one end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With spectacular views over Shelly Beach and continuing up the coast to Norah Head, Tuggerah Lake and The Entrance, Crackneck Point lookout is one of the best vantage points in the Central Coast. It is a fantastic place for a photo stop or picnic at any time of year. Spread out a rug on the grass or set up at one of the picnic tables. It\u2019s also a local\u2019s secret whale watching spot \u2013 pick the right day between May and November and you might catch a glimpse of the majestic ocean giants as they migrate up and down the east coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
