There are many coastal works in Sydney, however its is said that the Manly to Spit walk is the most beautiful. Sure enough there are some superbly stunning views and each corner unfolds new breathtaking shots and another lizard.
The walk totals approx. 9km, and is supposed to take 4 hours to comfortably complete. This is the case for the first timer as there are so many places you have to stop and admire the views or take a dip in one of the many pristine beaches.
We started in Manly (doesn't make much difference which way round to start.) The first 2km are very gentle and curve round Manly’s neighbouring suburbs with some very impressive beach front properties. After that the terrain becomes a little more rugged, as you cross streams, beaches and bridges. Then you step into bush. The paths are well maintained and heavily used. This part has a few spots where there are rocks which both hands and feet are needed.
Water is essential as there is no where to buy more and suitable footwear is a must, though I did spy a few flip flops - sorry ‘thongs’ - but their faces said it all. You will come across the hard core fitness fanatics running the route, impressive as it is, its a hard walk for the average Joe.
