Local Trail - Kalaru to Tathra

Kalaru to Tathra

Getting there

The trail is accessed from the center of Kalaru. This description starts at Evans Park, however you can join the path a few hundred metres up the road from the bus stop opposite the service station.

The track

The track is a paved bike path for most of the way and is very easy to follow. Heading east from Evans Park you will cross Sapphire Coast Drive after about 300 metres, before you begin heading up Evans Hill. After 2.6km you will have got to the top of the hill.

From here the track heads into Tathra near the fire shed (3km into your journey). The track continues down to Tathra oval (3.5km) where it joins the road. There are plans to continue the path on the other side of the road past the school, however, for now you continue along the road down towards the iconic Tathra pub (4.8km). If you continue a bit further to the end of the road there is a sealed path which will take you to a viewing platform on the point (it would be a great spot to spy a few whales in the right season).

Difficulty

This a reasonably easy track, although it does contain a big hill. The distance from Evans Park Kalaru to the look out at Tathra is 5.2km. Please be aware that bikes also use this path so stick to the left at all times.

Connections
