One of Sydney's best harbour walks if you can handle some elevation. Starts at Spit Bridge, follows coastline through bushland to Manly Beach. Takes 3-4 hours depending on how many photo stops you make.

Getting there: Bus 144 from Wynyard to Spit Junction, then 5 minute walk to trailhead. Well marked with yellow arrows but some steep sections require decent fitness.

What to bring: More water than you think you need - no shops along the way. Sun protection essential. End at Manly Beach for a swim, then ferry back to Circular Quay.
