A Soul-Stirring Sunrise Experience! ​If you want to see The Coast Track at its most majestic, start in the dark! We arrived at 4:30 AM for Suhoor, beginning our hike under a beautiful crescent moon. Watching the world wake up from the Balconies and Wedding Cake Rock was nothing short of spiritual. ​The Views: Seeing the sunrise hit the sandstone cliffs is worth every early-morning step. The ocean views are infinite and the geological formations are stunning. ​The Atmosphere: At that hour, the trail is peaceful, the weather is crisp, and you truly feel connected to nature. ​The Highlight: Reaching Wedding Cake Rock just as the light turns golden. The contrast of the white rock against the deep blue Tasman Sea is breathtaking. ​An absolute must-do for anyone who loves hiking and photography. There is no better way to start the day than with great company and these views!

Such an amazing trail! The views from the cliffs are absolutely breathtaking and you get stunning ocean scenery the whole way. You might even spot some wildlife along the trail, which makes the experience even more special. Totally worth the walk! 🌊🐨🐦

I just walked the track from Otford to Bundeena. I use to walk and trail run it. This is still a world class coastal walk as I remember it from 15 years ago. However, I'm not a fan of the board walks and railing that has been put in over the last years.

Lovely track through the bush near the sea. The track is mostly boardwalk but did have portions over sandstone, sand & rock mix, stairs, and limestone which can be quite slippery when wet or mossy

Very beautiful coastal walk, breezy and sometimes windy. Very exposed but amazing nature. We walked from Bundeena to the sand beach, about 8km (round trip). There are a bit a bit steps, but one can finish in 4 hours in relax mode.
