You'll find some of the best Sydney Harbour vantage points tucked away on this lower-North Shore coastal walking track. This leisurely four-kilometre beachside walk in Sydney begins at Taronga Zoo Wharf and extends to Mosman's charming Chowder Bay.

Launched in late 2019, the 80-kilometre Bondi-to-Manly walk stretches along the east coast and harbour shore, between the two eponymous beaches. 

Only accessible during low tide, this hidden track runs from Chinamans Beach to Balmoral Beach, and is an unexpected adventure. Start out at the historic Parriwi Lighthouse, then follow the trail along steep steps to sudden views of Middle Harbour.

If you're looking for more than a day trip, this 26-kilometre track around the Royal National Park boasts a combination of rugged bushwalks, sandy beaches and sandstone headlands with views across the Tasman Sea. 

While this historic Sydney coastal walk does contain a driving path, the true beauty of this trail is seen through the dirt road bushwalk. Begin your trek at North Head Sanctuary, three kilometres south of Manly Beach. 

This ten-kilometre coastal walk in Sydney is often recommended to tourists for good reason. Begin at Mosman's Spit Bridge, where you'll follow the Middle and North Harbour shoreline paths along Fisher Bay to Clontarf Beach. 

While the multiple World War II batteries located at Middle Head certainly set this walk apart, it's the expansive views of the eastern suburbs, Middle Harbour and Manly that really make this trek worthwhile. 

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cockatoo Island has an illustrious history — including housing a prison, a ship-building facility, a reform school and a wartime boat repair port. 

Set on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, Balls Head Reserve affords exceptional views of the Harbour Bridge from the north, along with unbeatable picnic views overlooking the CBD. 

The Bondi to Coogee walk is easily the most iconic coastal walking trail in Sydney. This six-kilometre trek gives tourists and locals alike a true sense of Sydney's coastal beauty. 

The final section of the Barangaroo foreshore walk opened in April 2021 completing the 11-kilometre stroll along the harbour. You can now meander from Woolloomooloo to the Anzac Bridge via the foreshore.
