Light to Light walk hugs the coastline between historic Boyds Tower and Green Cape Lightstation. It's one of the best walks on the far south coast of NSW.The views are stunning and ever-changing - from heathland to forest, tea tree groves to banksia woodlands, and sheltered coves to towering red-rock platforms. Plus, with so many seafront vantage points, you can spot seals, seabirds and whales.
Enjoy a small section of the walk - most sections of this walk are easy - or embark on a self-guided, multi-day hike, stop overnight and have a swim at the beach campgrounds.
Rest your head and have a hot shower at Telegraph Station bunkhouse near Green Cape Lighthouse - a great short stay accommodation option for Light to Light walkers. Before you head out, be sure to download the app to your iPhone or Android device to accompany you on the walk. It's full of great information about the area's Aboriginal cultural heritage, plants and animals and much more.

If you choose to walk the track in sections, consider car pooling ahead of time.
While the track offers easy walking along a well-marked route, it does cover some remote country - it's a good idea to bring a topographic map and compass, or a GPS
Remember to take your binoculars if you want to birdwatch and whale watch along the way

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
Ben Boyd National Park spans 47km of rocky coastline and sheltered inlets. Located near the whale watching town of Eden on the far South Coast of NSW, its crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkelling and swimming.
Ben Boyd National Park is separated into 2 areas, split by Twofold Bay. Take your pick from the sparkling lakes and surf beaches in the park’s Pambula-Haycock area to the rocky cliffs and beachside campgrounds in the Green Cape area.
Its spectacular sea-carved landscape is a striking display of folded red rock platforms that contrast against the sapphire blue water of the ocean.
