About Urunga Boardwalk
Urunga Boardwalk is a 1-kilometre timber boardwalk in Urunga on the New South Wales Mid North Coast, within Bellingen Shire. Extending from Urunga Lido across the Kalang River estuary and mangrove wetlands to the Pacific Ocean beach, it offers estuary, river and ocean views. Notable for its accessible design, birdlife, fishing spots and sunset views, it is one of the region's most visited coastal walks and connects the town to the beach without crossing water by boat.
