About this walk


Wollongong Coast Walk (Peace Mile)

The Wollongong Coast Walk is a scenic coastal trail running from Wollongong City to the northern suburb of Thirroul. One of the most pram-friendly sections is the Peace Mile, a shorter and accessible 2 km walk that follows part of the historic Mount Pleasant Tramway route. This section is ideal for families wanting ocean views without committing to the full 13 km walk.

In addition, the wide, mostly flat path makes it suitable for prams, toddlers on bikes, and relaxed family strolls.
