Choong Lin Spectacular view through the heads and surrounds +

Christopher It was cool because the wind blew so hard and I was thankful for the place. Additionally, you can also watch a dolphin show. Personally I liked it best

Michael Laidler Great view. Nice to little hike through some less maintained bush. It was very quiet today on this track while the main Manly to Spit walk was filled with people

Craig KiwiCraig Went just before sunset which turned out a good time to go as its a nice view and easy walk there and back before dark. Its a surprisingly wild area there were many kookaburra and even a few wallabies! There is a fork in the path to a beach so will look forward to checking that out next time and spending a bit more time. Didnt see anyone else on the track, was a nice little escape in to nature.

Philip Lindsay The walk to Grotto Point Lighthouse from Clontarf Reserve is delightful . I did this walk on a hot summers day in February 2019. Its a casual two hour return walk. With many pretty harbour scenes and wild flowers . But you do need to be energetic and wearing good quality walking boots or runners & take a bottle of water . Do not underestimate this track as it is rough in places . I saw one person trip over a rock and sprain their ankle . There is no sign designating the track which leads down to the Lighthouse. I used my Google Maps GPS to guide me. Its a narrow lonely track and quite steep for the last 50 metres down to Grotto Point. Very few people walk down to the Lighthouse hence its quiet and solitary. The view is fabulous . The main track from Clontarf Reserve to Manly is extremely popular on weekends with at least 500 people doing the walk while I was there. So if you are a slow walker move to the side and let the faster move past. If you do this walk after heavy rainfall you will see the creeks and waterfalls flowing , making it extra special. The walk is not suitable for old and infirm nor kids under 10.

sina saghari Absolute disappointment, the path is to this light house is equal to a difficult bush-walk and need proper footwear otherwise your shoes get muddy and wet. After a good 20 min up and down in bush you get to this spot which doesn’t worth it at all. There is no view or a place to chill and getting ready to go back. Absolute bummer. The fence around light house is also locked so you can’t even get to the turf.

Gary L Take a detour off the Manly to spit bridge walk to see a qaint lighthouse and a different view of the harbour and Balmoral Beach. The sidetrack will take an extra 40 mins both ways if you include the charming cliff beach sidetrack. The track is very not really maintained and will require some minor scrambling. If wet it could be difficult. Bush and trees will likely scrape your legs. A much quieter track with enough points of interest to make it worthwhile.

Daithí Kilcourse A very nice lookout with a good views. Easy to get to. It has amazing views of the harbour, manly and the city from here. You can park very close to the lookout and it’s a small walk to it. There are seats to sit and enjoy the view.

Brenden Wood Views of the Sydney’s North Head, Manly and the lower Northern Beaches. View slightly limited by trees. Seating here. No shelter. Accessible via car. Located 200 metres off the Manly Scenic Walk that links The Spit to Manly.

Helena Funny It offers nice views but you should be either very tall or be able to stand on top of something, otherwise you could only see the trees against the blue sky. The lookout is easy accessible by car. However, we got there from a side track of Manly to Spit Walking Trial. The photo I am uploading was taken by holding my camera high above my head.

Aravind Udayasankaran Views are little bit blocked by the trees, but nevertheless one of those spots to see if you are around. This spot is actually reachable either by car directly or you can walk along Manly to Spit coastal walk and take a shot detour along the trail.
