The new Bondi to Manly Walk links all the existing coastal and harbourside walking tracks between Australia’s two most famous surf beaches, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. For its entire length, the Bondi to Manly Walk is on public land, with the vast majority of its 80kms on existing well-made and well-maintained bushwalking tracks. It is the product of a collaboration between all six Councils along the Walk.
The Bondi to Manly Walk links four iconic Australian landmarks recognised around the world - Sydney’s Opera House and Harbour Bridge, and Bondi and Manly Beaches.
