• Mosman - Georges Heights offers stunning views of Sydney Harbour, extending to the heads and across to Watsons Bay.

Looking south, visitors can spot Shark Island and Shark Beach, while the city of Sydney is visible further southwest.

A trip to Georges Heights also allows exploration of historical military fortifications, established when the Colony of New South Wales took charge of its own defense after British troops withdrew in 1870.

Visitors can explore the heritage gun emplacements and cannons while enjoying the scenery.

Nearby, a gunners barracks stands where military personnel were stationed to defend the harbour if necessary.

A seven-meter high sandstone wall was constructed to shield local gunners from potential invaders, featuring loopholes for rifle firing.

• Manly Beach - At Manly Beach, visitors can stroll near the Cabbage Bay Aquatic Reserve to the charming Shelley Beach.

Along the way, a small rock pool with two elegant sculptures, known locally as the ‘Sea Nymphs,’ can be found.

Shelley Beach is unique as it faces directly back towards Manly Beach.

This small, secluded beach is surrounded by cabbage tree palms. From Shelley Beach, visitors can ascend some stairs to a lookout offering views of Manly Beaches and the beaches north of Manly.

Depending on the conditions, surfers may be seen practicing their skills on a reef break with several take-off spots.

While in the Manly area, a visit to the North Head lookout in the Sydney Harbour National Park is recommended.

This spot offers one of the best views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.

A photo stop may also be made to admire the grand neo-gothic sandstone building, formerly a seminary for priests (St Patricks).

• Curl Curl to Freshwater Beach Coastal Walk - Freshwater is a small, popular beach located south of Manly Beach.

When the seas are calm and the sun is shining, the water at this beach looks delightful.

After appreciating ‘Freshie,’ visitors can walk around the ocean pool and past a permanent public work known as the signal fire.

The signal fire pays tribute to the communication systems where indigenous peoples living on the coast lit fires to communicate with each other.

The walk continues northward along the coastal track to Curl Curl beach, offering wonderful ocean views. Approaching Curl Curl, another ocean pool and more spectacular beach views can be enjoyed.

Curl is a long beach (1.2kms) with golden sands and several surfing spots.

• Palm Beach - At Palm Beach, visitors can walk to the iconic Barrenjoey Lighthouse, built from locally sourced Hawkesbury sandstone.

Once at the lighthouse, breathtaking views in every direction can be enjoyed.

Looking south from the lighthouse, Palm Beach, an isthmus, and the Whale Beach Headland are visible.

To the northwest lies Lion Island and Broken Bay. Directly west is the Pittwater inlet, a favorite among boaters, fishermen, and kayakers.

Across Pittwater is the lookout to be visited later in the day, West Head.

Palm Beach is famous for the long-running Aussie soap opera, Home and Away. Filming might even be taking place during the visit!

• Avalon Beach - The adventure continues with a short coastal drive to Avalon Beach, passing Whale Beach along the way.

The sand at Avalon Beach is distinctively orange due to iron oxides.

A shallow cliff cave near the swimming pool at the southern end of the beach offers excellent photo opportunities.

If the swell is significant, the ocean pool will be hit by whitewater from breaking waves.

Surf breaks are present at both ends of the beach, with an additional surf break further south around the corner.

A small grassed area at the south end of the beach provides panoramic views of Avalon and Rockie Beaches.
