Putt Putt to Putty

The Putt Putt to Putty Beach Ride offers it all. Leave Palm Beach and Sydney behind to arrive by ferry at Mulhull St Wharf, Wagstaffe. Sojourn at sleepy Killcare or seek the surf at either Lobster Beach, Tallow Beach or Putty Beach.

Enjoy the thrill of Ward's Hill yet take care on this huge descent but be sure not to miss the Honey place. Continue until you make your way to Ettalong Beach. Ettalong Beach is the place for an idyllic ride away.

Hazards

1. Take extreme care along Killcare Rd/Scenic Rd. The road is narrow in places with no road shoulder, stay as far left as possible.

2. Descend Ward's Hill Road with care. It is steep and has many winding sections. Stay as far left as possible.

3. Take the shared path along the Rip Bridge. This bridge does not offer a road shoulder.

4. Ensure that your bike is taken to the rear of the ferry.
