Last updated October 2026

A paved 1 km loop (30 minutes to 1 hour, Grade 1) at the end of North Head Scenic Drive in Sydney Harbour National Park. It links Yiningma lookout, facing the ocean, and Burragula lookout, looking across the harbour to the city skyline. NPWS says it is ideal for families with children and is wheelchair accessible; it is flat and step-free, and a good spot for whale watching in the migration seasons. There are no toilets on the walk; the nearest are behind Bella Vista Cafe opposite the North Head Sanctuary Visitor Centre. Parking at North Head is $5 per vehicle per day; gates open 6am to 8pm in daylight saving and 6am to 6pm the rest of the year. Nearby on OpenStreetMap: Bella Vista (479 m).
