Manly to Spit Bridge Coastal Walk

Start your adventure just beyond Manly Wharf, where the Manly to Spit Bridge Walk begins. This 10km track takes you along harbour cliffs, hidden coves and bushland alive with native wildlife. Expect epic lookout points and plenty of spots to dip your toes in the water. It takes around 3–4 hours one way, but every step is worth it for the views alone.

What to See and Do on the Walk

• Explore secluded harbour beaches like Reef and Forty Baskets Beach.
• Spot native wildlife along the trail, from water dragons to kookaburras.
• Take in stunning clifftop lookouts with views across Sydney Harbour.

Getting There
