Blue Waters Lake Ocean Grove

Escaping Your Comfort Zone - Side by Side Nature Walks is for women who want chilled out, short and slow adventures. We don’t care about size, speed or fitness. We go slow, we go short, we leave no one behind. It’s about fun in the outdoors, because we can! These walks are for women aged 50+.

Big thanks to Sandi for leading this one!

📌 Blue Waters Lake Loop, finishing with coffee at the OG Golf Club

🌊 The Blue Waters Lake walk is an easy, peaceful circuit around one of Ocean Grove's hidden gems. Surrounded by reeds, native vegetation and open parkland, the lake attracts a variety of waterbirds including ducks, swans, coots and occasionally pelicans. The flat, well-maintained path makes it a relaxing stroll, with beautiful reflections on the water

🚶 Slow, mostly flat walk among local streets to the lake, with a loop of the lake (1-1.5hrs). No one is left behind.

🍴 Grab your own coffee or lunch at Ocean Grove Golf Club after the walk, and hang around for a chat

🐕 Please don't bring dogs on this one, we want to keep the local waterbirds safe.
