One of the most peaceful and beautiful walks in Sydney. The stunning cliff-top views, fresh ocean breeze, and breathtaking scenery make it a perfect escape from the busy city. 🌊 I absolutely loved the calm atmosphere—there was such a peaceful silence, broken only by the sweet sounds of birds singing from the bushes. 🐦 🎶 ❤️ The paved path is easy to walk and suitable for everyone, with fantastic lookout points where you might even spot whales during the season. With convenient parking, picnic areas, and a nearby café, it's a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and connect with nature. Highly recommended!

A great destination, either at the end of a long walk from Manly or from the parking lot where the bus also has a stop. The path is easy and concrete with a couple of very nice, new vista points. The views are spectacular. Have been a few times in different weather. Not really fun in spitting rain, but dry days are nice and there always seems to be a good breeze. Never overly crowded. Close to the nearby war/veteran's memorials and general visitor center and cafe for North Head.

This is quite a beautifully scenic walk. You can see the heads and you can basically see the Sydney skyline in the background. The day was beautiful. There are paved pathways along the way so it makes walking easier. It is easy to find parking there as well, it is paid parking And there is a cafe close by as well for facilities and a good coffee and brunch later on.

Open cliff top views (apply sunscreen!), with a couple of great lookout spots (fenced). Lovely one to bring kids and elderly to for scenery and fresh air since it’s wheelchair friendly, nicely paved and close to parking. We spotted whales 🐳 from afar today (end Sept) around 4.30pm 🐋 $5 parking and potential picnic spots around the parking area too A quick loop will probably take you 20mins but leisurely 40-60mins

One of the most scenic places visited. This location has many attractions that will easily fill up a day trip. We headed to Fairfax walk and parked our car near the lookout point. Parking is cheap, only $5 for 12 hours. We then took the walk through the loop and headed to the war memorial section. We spent some time there and I then drove to Q station. We parked our car near the reception and took a walk to quarantine beach. We came to know that the Store beach is not reachable by road. Quarantine beach is a nice little beach for a quick dip that also has a restaurant nearby. Q station has many rooms in the valley. Recommend this place for families with kids.
