Additional details for your walk

This scenic 7-8km is from Manly Wharf to North Head via Little Manly Beach.

Little Manly Beach: This is a safe, sheltered swimming beach in Sydney Harbour, located a short walk from Manly Wharf. It’s a popular spot for families, snorkeling, and picnics, featuring a kiosk, rocky headlands with rock pools, and beautiful views of the harbour and surrounding suburbs. The location offers stunning views across the harbour towards Mosman and the city’s eastern suburbs.

North Head: The walking tracks are an opportunity for us to discover military fortifications from the Second World War as well as visible evidence of the nation’s early quarantine practices. Iron Cove Bridge, Drummoyne, Rodd Point, Rodd Island, Leichhardt Park and Rozelle Hospital.

Whilst it isn’t a hard walk, it isn’t a completely leisurely stroll. The trail undulates most of the way. The track is in very good condition all the way through and is primarily paved, worn coastal and some roads.
