How do I get to Garie Beach
Walking
You can walk to Garie Beach via the Coast Track, but if you plan to do so, allow time for an overnight stay at North Era. The Coast Track begins in Bundeena (north) and ends in Otford (south). Signage from Bundeena Ferry Wharf directs walkers to the start of the trail, and the track is well signposted as it passes through Garie Beach, continuing on to North Era, Burning Palms, and Otford.
