Arrawarra Creek Walk

Arrawarra Creek Walk is a dog walk in Arrawarra Headland, NSW, where the route offers stunning views of the Solitary Islands Marine Park, coastal bushland, and the Arrawarra Creek estuary, with opportunities to spot diverse wildlife and ancient Aboriginal fish traps.

The walk

Underfoot it is sandy beaches, dunes, rocky headlands, and potentially gravel.

Lead rules

Coffs Harbour City Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Arrawarra Headland for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
