Amazing view of sea from the cliff @ stanwell top near Helensberg. You can see the sea cliff bridge as well. It's really windy out there and with wind you will feel colder. It's a breathtaking view from the top. Lot of people visit here especially during weekends and holidays. If you are going to Wollongong or Helensberg this is a must visit place. You have benches to sit and enjoy the beauty of sea. There is a small coffee shop available and you can zip hot coffee if the weather is too cold. Ice creams and snacks are also available in the outlet. There is plenty of parking space available. Drive to through the sea cliff bridge is also enjoyable.
