1. Curl Curl to Freshwater Beach Coastal Walk

Undertook this walk as part of a walk from Collaroy to Manly. While my own favourite part of the Collaroy-Manly walk is the wilder and more elevated section around Dee Why headland, the stretch from Curl Curl to Freshwater also has plenty to offer, with some lovely coastal views (and summer breezes). It is also a much more straightforward and easier track to traverse, with much of it being along boardwalks. There are water stations along the way but there is not a lot of shade - it's definitely a good idea to wear a hat. .

Recently took on the coastal walk from Collaroy to Manly and while the whole trek was a pleasure, to me the clear highlight was the section around Dee Why headland. This section is bookended by two truly beautiful rock pools - Dee Why and North Curl Curl. In between the pools you will experience some stunning views of the Northern Beaches coastline and the wide blue ocean. The narrow path takes you through dense thickets of coastal heath- and bushland (in which gnarled old banksia trees abound). We walked midweek and while we did not have the path to ourselves, other walkers were relatively scarce. And you quickly forget you are just a few kilometres from downtown Sydney.

North Narrabeen has long been renowned for having some of the best, most consistent waves on the East Coast and along the way the area has produced some of Australia's most famous surfers. From the lookout on the point at the northern end of the beach you can see the current crop ply their skills. (Just look for the crowd of onlookers with cameras.) If you are not a red-hot surfer North Narrabeen still has plenty to offer. There are very good ocean baths also at the north end that attract families and serious lap swimmers. The beach is also very long, extending several kms to Collaroy Beach in the south. Very good for a long beach walk and there are plenty of uncrowded (though also unpatrolled) sections along the way too.

The track around Narrabeen Lagoon is about 8.5 km long and can be walked at an steady pace in about 2 hours. The track is across flat ground for its whole distance, and while surfaces underfoot vary from gravel to paved sections and stretches of boardwalks, it is all easy walking. For me, the highlights are walking through the remnant littoral rainforest, the near constant views of the lake, and the abundant birdlife. Not surprisingly, there plenty of waterbirds like cormorants, pelicans and black swans, but you might also see bush birds like fairy wrens, willie wagtails and king parrots. The track does follow busy Wakehurst Parkway for some km, but there is bush between the road and track to help buffer the traffic noise. (Plus, lovely views across the lake also take your mind away from the traffic.) On the north side of the lake there is also a sidetrack that follows Deep Creek. On my last circuit of the lake my friend and I thought we would investigate this track. My advice: don't bother. We only walked it for about 400m beyond the Deep Creek Reserve and the bridge over the creek. The terrain was rough and the vegetation patchy and uninspiring, with stretches dominated by thickets of lantana. Dumped household rubbish didn't add to the appeal

There is loads of shade, and some seating for many families. There are lots of play equipment for all ages. Cafes are close by and also picnic areas for family gatherings. Parking was a bit of an issue. persistence is best. We often meet there for family functions.
