A pleasant hike on the outskirts of Sydney
Manly is basically just one of the many suburbs of Sydney. However, it is a popular beach destination. At the same time, you can take a nice hike in Sydney Harbor National Park to enjoy the beautiful Australian coastline
Port of Manly
The Manly Scenic Walk begins in the harbor, where there is heavy traffic between Manly and Circular Quay at the Sydney Opera House. Most people head straight down the main street to a beach 500 meters away. However, we will continue west along the coast
Lori multicolored
Along the way you can see beautiful Australian parrots such as Lori (Trichoglossus haematodus)
Wellings reserve
The road leads the first 2.5 km around the built coast. The first piece of nature is a small wellings reserve with rocks and forest
Reef Beach
After another kilometer walk along the coast you will walk to the beautiful Reef Beach. You're already in the heart of Sydney Harbor National Park
Looking back at Manly
After a while, you have Manly in the palm of your hand. Fast boat port on the left, small yacht on the right
Beautiful iguana
The path climbs to the lookout and a beautiful iguana basks on the stone – a complete model
Grotto Point Reserve
The view of a nice cliff and a piece of preserved original forest is worth it.
Nature of the national park
Beautiful forest and rocks, just look for sure underfoot – poisonous snakes are here too
Castle Rock Beach
After passing through the forest, you will sink back to the sea. Above you and against you across the bay is already built-up, but the beach itself still looks almost Robinsonian
On Castle Rock beach
The local coast is really picturesque and accommodation on the surrounding green hills must also be great
Another iguana
There is definitely no shortage of animals on this walk
Road under the cliff
The hiking trail itself has its charm in several places
End of Castle Rock Beach
From the western end of the beach is probably the most beautiful view. You don't feel like you're on the edge of a city of millions
Clontarf beach
After you go around the small rocky peninsula you are on the wide beach of Clontarf, where there are already significantly more people moving. From here it is only a kilometer and a half to the main road with a bus stop (Manly Rd Near Avona Cr), where this interesting tour ends
