<span><span><span><span>For a longer walk with spectacular Sydney Harbour views, this is the track for you. Start near Manly Wharf and work your way to the stunning Spit Bridge. This harbourside trail passes through</span> <a href="https://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-city/sydney-harbour/attractions/sydney-harbour-national-park"><span><span>Sydney Harbour National Park</span></span></a><span>, a mix of subtropical bushland and a series of short tracks crossing between stunning beaches, bays and inlets in North Sydney. Take in historical sites such as the</span> <a href="https://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-north/manly/attractions/grotto-point-lighthouse"><span><span>Grotto Point Lighthouse</span></span></a> <span>and admire Aboriginal rock engravings of fish, boomerangs and kangaroos. You could alternatively start at Spit Bridge and end in Manly so that you can explore the beaches, shops, and restaurants for the rest of the day.</span></span></span></span>
|

|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Who’s it for?</span></strong> <span>The walk is long with steep and uneven steps along the way, so it’s not one to take little kids on. Though it’s suitable for people of most fitness levels, you’ll need to be ready to walk for a good few hours. The views are worth it, but you’ll definitely have to work for it.</span></span></span></span>
|

|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Tip:</span></strong> <span>Bring a swimming costume in case you want to stop and swim at one of the secret beaches along the way, and don’t forget to pack water, snacks, a hat and sunscreen.</span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span>If you love exploring cliff tops, rock formations, and ocean views but you’ve already tried most of the Harbour and beach walks, try the Botany Bay Coastal Walk. Begin at the end of Polo Street in Kurnell and keep walking until you reach Cronulla Station. This coastal walk features views of small sand dunes, hanging swamps,</span> <a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/marine-protected-areas/aquatic-reserves/boat-harbour-aquatic-reserve"><span><span>Boat Harbour Aquatic Reserve</span></span></a> <span>and the <span>Cape Baily Lighthouse</span>. Once you’re finished, take a dip in one of Cronulla’s beautiful pools or</span> <a href="https://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-south/cronulla/beach-lifestyle"><span><span>beaches</span></span></a><span>.</span></span></span></span>
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Who’s it for?</span></strong> <span>Another longer, more rugged track, this isn’t so much a casual stroll as it is a real nature walk. It’s a good few hours and you’ll traverse some rougher track along the way, so we’d suggest it for people with at least a moderate level of fitness.</span></span></span></span>
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Tip:</span></strong> <span>If four hours sounds a bit too long for you, you can always tackle a smaller section</span> – <span>we’re partial to the track from Cape Solander to the Cape Baily Lighthouse.</span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span>The quintessential Sydney experience, no list of the best walks in the city is complete without the Bondi to Coogee walk. Here you’ll see Sydney’s most iconic attractions, starting at the famous</span> <a href="https://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-east/bondi/attractions/bondi-beach"><span><span>Bondi Beach</span></span></a><span>, passing the ever-Instagrammable <span>Bondi Icebergs swimming club</span>, and following the paved path that leads to the stunning</span> <a href="https://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-east/coogee"><span><span>Coogee Beach</span></span></a><span>. You can make a full day of it by stopping at some of the many gorgeous beaches, cliff-tops, natural rock pools, and cafes along the way. If you’re around from late June to early July, it’s also a great opportunity to try to spot some whales.</span></span></span></span>

|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Who’s it for?</span></strong> <span>Everyone! It’s an ideal walk to enjoy with friends or take a date for the day. Keep in mind that although it can make for an amazing family day out, if you have younger children you might be better off going part-way (we like Bondi to Bronte), unless you’re willing to do a bit of carrying!</span></span></span></span>
|

|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Tip:</span></strong> <span>Stop off at Gordon’s Bay along the way. It’s usually less crowded than the main beaches, and features an underwater nature trail that’s perfect for snorkelling.</span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span>Looking to avoid the crowds or try something a little different to your usual oceanside walk? Start from Acron Oval in St Ives and traverse dense bushland through Garigal National Park. You’ll pass an abundance of native Australian trees and flowers on your way to the rocky cascades, a beautiful set of small waterfalls and rock pools. Look out for some of the park’s wildlife, such as burrowing frogs, Rosenberg’s goannas and kookaburras. There are also plenty of sites with Aboriginal cave art and rock engravings for you to marvel at.</span></span></span></span>

|

|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Who’s it for?</span></strong> <span>Nature lovers who are looking to do some bushwalking in the wilderness, away from the crowds. It’s not very long and can be undertaken by people of most fitness levels without any bushwalking experience, but it’s still considered a moderately challengingwalk.</span></span></span></span>
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
<span><span><span><strong><span>Tip:</span></strong> <span>Bungaroo Pool used to be a public swimming hole. While we wouldn’t suggest swimming there now, you should keep an eye out for the inscription of ‘Ladies’ in the rock to mark the old ladies’ changing area from the early 1900s.</span></span></span></span>
