A dramatic finish with headland views south to Manly and north to Long Reef and beyond.

Finish on the headland where Dee Why turns cinematic again. Northern Beaches Council describes this as a sensitive coastal ecosystem and an important wildlife corridor between Curl Curl and Dee Why Lagoons, and the setting feels every bit that substantial.
The formal headland walk runs about 1.6 kilometres one way and is known for formed track, steep sections and steps. Even if you only take in the opening panorama, the payoff is immediate: spectacular views south to Manly, north to Long Reef and a final sense that Dee Why's beauty works because it keeps changing shape as you move through it.
