We did about two thirds of this walk on a recent visit to relatives, venturing from Grotto Point Car Park to Manly. Although it was midweek we did meet lots of other walkers and you can see why - great views of the harbour, lots of sightings of wildlife (kookaburras, huge lizards) and a relatively comfortable walk - a bit...

Ok, just ok. It's a reason to use the ferry, but not for the destination. Too touristy. But the ferry ride there is good and you get to see the opening to the Pacific. More

It is an easy walk to Shelly Beach Park. I highly recommend that you continue on up the path to the point beyond. Great views! Caution, the path is steep and rough in places. More

Lovely walk along the coastline - ocean with surfers, tidepools, seaside swimming pools, high end homes, lush vegetation - you see it all. Stopped at a delightful fish market for some fresh fried fish for lunch. More

10 km of hard slog through rain-soaked bushland, the track was a 10 km long puddle of water. But what a beautiful part of the world! Wild flowers, secluded beaches, rainforest, fern glens, rock faces, glimpses of one of the world's most beautiful harbours. Superb. But we did take a bus back from Spit Bridge to Manly. More
