Beautiful lookout at Dobroyd Head with views across North Harbour looking over Fairlight & Manly… Ample parking, toilets and large covered playground at neighbouring Tania Park… Well worth a stop through

Not a bad spot, as lots of other reviews have mentioned, the trees cover alot of the view from that view point. Aside from that it is still a nice spot to have a break and take in the views that are available, with a few benches or seats for older or less mobile people. If you are there, have a walk a bit further along and have a look at the views through the heads. Very worth it.

A very nice lookout with a good views. Easy to get to. It has amazing views of the harbour, manly and the city from here. You can park very close to the lookout and it’s a small walk to it. There are seats to sit and enjoy the view.

It offers nice views but you should be either very tall or be able to stand on top of something, otherwise you could only see the trees against the blue sky. The lookout is easy accessible by car. However, we got there from a side track of Manly to Spit Walking Trial. The photo I am uploading was taken by holding my camera high above my head.

Views of the Sydney’s North Head, Manly and the lower Northern Beaches. View slightly limited by trees. Seating here. No shelter. Accessible via car. Located 200 metres off the Manly Scenic Walk that links The Spit to Manly.
