Starting from the car park at the end of Burgess Road, Forster, this walk takes you past McBrides Beach to the Cape Hawke Lookout and back via the McBrides Beach and Cape Hawke walking tracks. This moderately challenging walk meanders through the coastal rainforest to the Cape Hawke Lookout, located at the northernmost end of Booti Booti National Park. The walk initially enters the park and begins climbing steadily, following a narrow trail through regenerating littoral rainforest. About halfway up the hill, the walk reaches a car park, where there's an optional side trip to McBrides Beach, then continues uphill to the car park at the end of Cape Hawke Drive. From there, the walk climbs a series of steps, following a short trail to the Cape Hawke Lookout, which offers panoramic views along the coast from the top of a dedicated observation tower, as well as excellent whale watching opportunities. The walk can be done in either direction, and can also be done as a one-way walk requiring a car shuffle. This walk consists of narrow walking trails and sealed roads, with uneven natural surfaces, sealed surfaces, short steep hills and steps. Suitable for average fitness levels.
