5 /5 Rock Merjudio: The Bradleys Head to Chowder Bay walk is one of Sydneys most picturesque and relaxing coastal trails, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical significance. The walk is well-maintained and easy to follow, making it accessible for all fitness levels. As you meander along the path, youll be treated to stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge, framed by lush bushland and towering eucalyptus trees.
The track takes you through diverse landscapes, from the quiet, shaded forests to the open, breezy coastal edges, with plenty of spots to stop and take in the breathtaking scenery. Along the way, youll pass historical landmarks like Bradleys Head Amphitheatre and the old military fortifications, adding an interesting layer of history to the experience. There are also parts of the forest burnt with what we assume to be bushfires.
The walk ends at Chowder Bay, where you can relax by the water, grab a coffee, or even take a refreshing dip. Many families of all cultural background can be found here doing picnic, barbecues and just playing on the grassy terrain. There are many dogs in the Clifton gardens and they have a pretty wide area to play around. Whether youre a local or a visitor, this walk is a must-do, offering a perfect escape into nature without leaving the city.
