Garawa lookout
Bouddi National Park
Overview
Enjoy expansive ocean views from Garawa lookout on the NSW Central Coast. A short walk up from Little Beach campground, Garawa is the most northern lookout along Bouddi coastal walk.
Garawa lookout is located about 100m north of Little Beach campground. From the campground, cross the timber bridge and walk up the sandstone steps to the access track that leads to Garawa lookout.
Garawa means ‘ocean’ in the local Aboriginal language, reflective of what you’ll see from this idyllic location. The sparkling blue waters of the Tasman Sea are framed by the sandstone headlands that stand sentry to Little Beach.
