New South Wales Coastal Cycleway

A collection of 8 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

0

A scenic, rideable string of coastal routes along the New South Wales coast in Australia. The collection adds up to roughly 480 km, making it great for a multi‑day tour or for picking shorter sections near the beach. It’s mostly paved and bike‑friendly: about half on dedicated cycleways, plenty on quiet streets, with a few short links on busier roads and the odd gravel or track stretch. Terrain is generally flat to rolling with short pinches over headlands and into coastal towns. Expect ocean views, beach boardwalks, and long bayside stretches, plus some urban paths in built‑up areas. Ride it north–south or the other way around, split it into stages, and plan for wind and traffic on the linking road bits. Lights, basic spares, and plenty of water are a good idea. If you’re touring, services pop up regularly along the coast; if you’re day‑riding, just pick a section and enjoy the seaside spin.
