Balls Head & Berry Island
Like most harbourside walks, the views you get on this one are amazing. Unlike others though, this one feels like a real bushwalk.
Cremorne Point Reserve
If you’ve only got a little time to spare but need a quick injection of clean, green air and water views, you’ll love this walk around Cremorne Point. The path extends almost the entire length of the foreshore and takes about an hour to complete at a regular pace.
Long Reef to Dee Why
This is a great walk not only because it single handedly meets the recommended step count for the day. But the surrounds are so beautiful, changing with the seasons and time of day, that it never feels like drudgery.
Cronulla Loop Track
If you’re looking for an easy, mostly level walk, with stunning views and the chance for a dip at several points along the way, this walk along the coastline at Cronulla is perfect
Kokoda Track Memorial Path
If you’re looking for a long walk, this is not it. But if you’re up for a little history, close to the city but in natural surrounds, then the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway is worth a look.
Taronga to Balmoral
Bush, beach, nature and wildlife, this walk from Taronga Beach to Balmoral Beach has it all. Add to this some great picnic spots, playgrounds and amenities as well as flashes of Sydney’s modern and ancient past.
Kirribilli Loop
This walk around Kirribilli is beautiful, a picture postcard around every corner and you’ll be able to tick off many Sydney landmarks along the way. And it's an easy walk too; a few stairways but nothing too difficult.
Narrabeen Lagoon
This walk follows a beautifully picturesque track around Narabeen lagoon. You can do it in one go, which takes about two hours or in sections with parking and rest stops at regular intervals.
The Basin Track
This is a return trip. You can go down and back up in 90 minutes or so but much better to combine it with a picnic or overnight stay.
