Springtime Serenity: Wildflowers, Beach Walks & Coastal Views at Blueys Beach
There’s something magical about Blueys Beach in spring. The air feels lighter, the colours brighter, and the coastal trails come alive with wildflowers and birdsong. If you’ve been craving time in nature, this is the season to lace up your walking shoes and see the Mid North Coast at its most vibrant.
Whether you’re looking for a gentle stroll or a half-day hike, the Blueys Beach area offers trails with ocean views, native blooms, and plenty of spots to pause and soak up the serenity.
Wildflower Wonders
From late August through October, the coastal heath bursts into colour. You’ll spot:
- Golden wattles
- Purple fringe lilies
- Delicate flannel flowers swaying in the breeze
A favourite spot for wildflower viewing is the trail between Blueys Beach and Boomerang Beach, where the native flora creates a natural frame for your ocean views.

Here are three must-do walks for spring:
- Blueys to Boomerang Beach Walk – A short, scenic trail perfect for a morning stroll before breakfast.
- Booti Hill and Wallis Lake Walking Track – Sweeping views of both the lake and ocean, plus plenty of wildflower spots along the way.
- Seal Rocks Lighthouse Walk – Combine a gentle climb with panoramic ocean views and a touch of history.

Tips for Enjoying Spring Walks
- Bring a light jacket – spring mornings can still be cool.
- Wear sturdy shoes – some trails have uneven ground.
- Respect the blooms – admire wildflowers without picking them.
Where to Stay
After a day on the trails, return to Blueys Retreat for a hot shower, a cosy lounge, and maybe a glass of local wine on your deck. You’ll be perfectly placed to explore another trail tomorrow.
