Great place for a walk and surf but note the beach is NOT patrolled. Also look for the Budgewoi Beach Dunecare Circuit Walk which is a thriving dune ecosystem, filled with diverse vegetation and native wildlife – a great educational experience. The 1km walk begins at the Budgewoi Beach Preschool carpark and follows a timber boardwalk through to Weemala Street. Turn right and join another boardwalk briefly through wetland before making your way to the beach, turn right and walk across the sand to the next beach access path that will lead you back to the start.
