About
Angourie walking track is a moderately challenging route linking Mara Creek picnic area in the north with Shelley Headland in the south. This superb coastal hike passes through sections of coastland heath and along the seaward side of a ridge with views of sheltered bays and rocky shoals. Keep your binoculars handy for birds in the heath, as well as marine creatures – pods of dolphins, schools of sea mullet and bait fish, and migrating whales – often visible from this amazing vantage point. The route takes in a particularly scenic point called Dirrangan lookout.
At Shelley Headland, you can choose to turn back to tackle the 10km return hike of Angourie walking track, or do some fancy car shuffling and make it a one-way trip. Camping is available at Shelley Headland campground.
Angourie walking track is also part of Yuraygir coastal walk's Angourie to Brooms Head.

10.43 km in just under three hours (including a lot of photo stops). The scenery is stunning and overall an easy walk. If you are looking for some post hike eats, I highly recommend Yamba’s Fisho only a 10 minute drive away. Best seafood in NSW.

If you love walking, this is for you. Lots to see and do. Scenery is something to live for. Take everything you need, as in water and food, and take all your rubbish back with you. There are rock pools, swimming, but remember, it's a long way for someone to come help you out if you get into trouble, so be extra careful. We took our 7 and 10 year old grandkids. They walked it, and loved it.

Beautiful coastal walk. Best to be takes in colder months as there is not much shade on the way.
