Walking Budgewoi: the local loops
Budgewoi Lake Foreshore Shared Pathway — A long, shared pathway along Budgewoi Lake, offering views of the lake, small bridges, birds, and trees. You can start at Slade Park and walk towards San Remo. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Budgewoi Beach Dog Walk — A beautiful beach walk that feels wild, with views of Norah Head Lighthouse and Bird Island. There are no taps to clean off with. Off-lead applies in the signed sections; carry the lead anyway. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Budgewoi Foreshore Walk — A short, easy bush track along the northern shore of Budgewoi Lake, offering lake views and stops with playgrounds and water access. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
