Sydney’s coastline represents one of the most beautiful and environmentally diverse attractions in the world. It features cliffs, beaches and inlets of magnificent beauty unique to the region. Outlined in the brochures produced through the Walking Coastal Sydney project is a continuous walking track that residents and visitors can utilise to explore the beautiful coastline of Sydney.

Vision

The vision of the Walking Coastal Sydney project is to promote public access to, and enhance the appreciation and recreational enjoyment of Sydney’s coastline and estuaries for the people of Sydney and visitors to the city. Walking Coastal Sydney is a partnership project between the Sydney Coastal Councils Group, the Walking Volunteers as well as local, state and federal government agencies and authorities.

Walking Coastal Sydney Brochures

Through the project a series of brochures that combine to provide a mapped and walkable route from Pittwater in the north to Sutherland in the south and linking with existing coastal walks including the Great North Walk and joining the walking paths in the Royal National Park have been produced.

On all brochures the main route is marked in red on the map. For walks up to 2 hours in duration the project partners recommend that users of the brochures explore the magnificent loop walks (marked in green on the map).

Sydney's Great Coastal Walk - Barrenjoey to Royal National Park

This magnificent 7 day adventure traverses the great urban coastal walk of Sydney.  The walk can be broken into distances and times of one’s own choosing and may be walked in either direction south from Palm Beach or north from Cronulla.

Sydney’s Northern Beaches Walk Barrenjoey to North Head takes 4 days and Sydney’s Southern Coastal Walk 3 days. These two walks combine to form Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk covering a walking distance of approximately 100km.
