Kiama Walking Tracks
Walking Kiama tracks is not only a great way to see the sights in our region – it also keeps you active and healthy during your stay. Here’s what you need to know to see Kiama walking tracks on foot.
KIAMA ON FOOT
Getting out and about not only means you’ll see the sights, but you’ll also boost your health, too. You’ll be treated to a reduction in body fat, too. It’s good to aim for 30 minutes of walking a day as a general rule of thumb. And to see results, brisk is best. As a guideline, this pace means you can still talk but not sing, and you may be puffing slightly.
FITNESS FRIENDS
You can finally start to shed those winter woollies. But it’s a good idea to pack some light layers for your spring getaway. Choose lightweight moisture-wicking fabric to draw away the sweat you work up, and throw in a jacket if you’re aiming to venture out early morning or at dusk. Close-toed shoes, preferably runners or hiking boots, will keep your feet fresh and fitness-focused. Always wear sunscreen, and take along a hat, sunnies and water as supportive sidekicks.

Keen bird watchers should keep an eye out for the local water birds, which you can spot from Bird Hide between the lagoon and the freshwater lake.
