Well signposted, great path, fantastic views. You can go a little way or all the way to Lighthouse beach. However, remember you need to walk back!!! More

If you are going to walk or run anywhere in Port Macquarie then the coastal walk is the place to go. Very picturesque with lots to look at. Town Beach to Westport Park and back is a lovely place to walk just before dark. It is very relaxing. More

The Coastal Walk along Ocean Parade at Port Macquarie is fantastic. So exhilerating with fresh sea air, and no smog. Took friends from North Carolina USA along the walk and they thought it was just magic. Heaps of birdlife and great views, plus healthy exercise. More

This is a beautiful walk that combines breathtaking ocean views with beach walking. I often do chunks of the walk to wind down after a stressful day, the smell of the sea, the sound of the waves and the gorgeous views remove all tension. More

Did a few kms of this from Flynns beach for about 3km with our two girls (5 and 3) and had a very nice exploring walk. The scenery is simply stunning with green water and blue sky with some cloud on our day made it very photogenic. More

The Port Macquarie coastline is fantastic. The coastal walk is a mixture of tracks around the headlands and beach walking. Make sure you take a bottle of water with you, there are bubblers along the way to top up. More
