On this stunning trail known as Manly Scenic Walkway, the scenery is the star - sandstone headlands, vast views, sailboats and bomboras. The path leads around the northern foreshores of Sydney Harbour, from the Spit Bridge to Manly.

Leaf-framed views of sandstone headlands, ultramarine-gone-ultraviolet views of the harbour, sails and ferry wakes, buoys and picnic coves - all of these views are sure to delight the hiker. Take a dip from time to time, although in summer be mindful of sharks. (It's been some 35 years since the last fatal attack inside the harbour, but who wants to update history?)

Since much of the trail runs through Sydney Harbour National Park, along the route you'll find illustrated plaques informing you about the nearby native flora, such as grevillea, figs, banksia, scentless rosewood and angophora - all of which are protected - so don't pick them!
