Sightseeing
We have done this walk so many times. it is a popular walk with Sydneysiders and with good reason. Spectacular vistas throughout, this walk (around 9-10km but you can just do sections of it) follows the coastline around from the Spit Bridge in Clontarf to Manly. Expect to see some wildlife- birds, the occasional wallaby and beautiful scenic ocean outlooks plus the opportunity to walk along some lovely little beaches such as Clontarf and Forty Baskets.
