Activity Details
The Golden Beach Walking Group is generally comprised of over 50's walkers but there is nothing stopping younger people joining. We meet on the corner of Nelson St. & The Esplanade (adjacent to Chill Cafe) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings around 6.50 - 6.55 am for a 7am start. (6.20 - 6.25 am for a 6.30am start in Summer). Sorry no dogs, as they can be a trip hazard for our older walkers.
Although we head off together at 7.00 am (or 6.30 am - Summer), the group soon splits into faster and slower groups. We generally walk for about 40-45 mins along the foreshore of Pumicestone Passage. Some people like to walk briskly, others like to dawdle and chat. Many are somewhere between these extremes so there would certainly be someone who would match your speed.
Most walkers stay and have a coffee and a chat afterwards at one of the coffee shops that Golden Beach has to offer. For some, it's just possible that the walk is an excuse to justify the coffee!
This is an opportunity to exercise, engage with nature and the outdoors, as well as socialise with other people.
