Hitchcock Park - Avalon Beach (NSW)

Michael Bugelli delivers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The lookout is easy to reach and gives you a full sweep of ocean and bush. We spotted eagles soaring overhead, an unexpected highlight in an already beautiful spot.

Silvi Dion A hidden gem, quiet and peaceful, safe for swimming. Its paradise

Petrus Kwan Beautiful place!

Rohit Revo An absolute marvel very close to Sydney and there is water for boating and fishing, trails for hikers, picnic and barbecue areas for families, playground for kids and roads for motor biking and cycling. You can spend the whole day here admiring what nature has to offer. Very happy place. Must visit.

Sachith Weligepola A lovely walk around the Narrabeen Lagoon. So much to see and somewhere during this loop track, you come across shops. And hey I saw a full rainbow for the first time in the walks I do!

Lionel Kools Careel bay dog park. A good summer splash

Peter Kirkland This is a great little beach that is well-thought-out with barbecue facilities, shade, toilets, and a lovely sandy shore . Its an ideal afternoon swimming spot and watch the sunset. Rex and I had a great time.

Deepti Kaamineni What’s not to love about this stunning place. Beach, views, gorgeous place.

J Fong The lighthouse is located at the top of a hill. To get there, it is a walk from the car park through a beach before the start of the ascend via a grade 2 or 3 route. The water views along the way with beautiful greens in the background is truly a nice start to the hike. There are no restrictions to heading up and down from the lighthouse but it is still worth considering the path you may find easier. For me, grade 2 option was my choice up and down as it was easier although there are multiple slopes with quite a gradient. It was not difficult to catch a breath partway if the climb is a bit much or if you are not used to it. There is sufficient walking space too for people to overtake or to walk in the opposite direction. Saw folks of all ages - young and old in both directions. Some key tips: - The trees and plants provide a good shade cover when walking up and down regardless of the option grade 2 or 3 track. - During whale migration season, the top is a good viewing spot and there are clear indications of which side of the top you could see it - There are unisex toilet facilities near the lighthouse at the top. They were clean and well maintained when i visited. - There are tours at selected times to the lighthouse. - Good footwear and light clothing is important when hiking up to the lighthouse even when it is sunny and not a hot day. It is a beautiful spot to enjoy the afternoon. I spent bout 2 hours there and enjoyed savouring the views and fresh air. Loved too the variety of birds from kookaburras to lorikeets + many others. Also, a lot of natural sandstone that adds on to the natural beauty of sand, water and the bush. A place worth visiting if you havent been before.

Andrej Todorov Nice short walk, some steps to hill. lol, but not hard.
