Easy 25-30min walk down towards Curl Curl Beach (Dee Why Head) . You can park near Dee Why Rockpool for $16 for 2hrs (Sat.) if no street parking is available. Two hours is enough to stop and enjoy the views, take pictures, rest etc. Be careful stepping on the edge of the timber walkway planks if crossing with incoming bushwalkers, some planks can get lifted on opposite side and you can twist your ancle.

Super clifftop walk between Dee Why and North Curl Curl offers some of Sydney's most spectacular coastal scenery.
