What people say
Peaceful walk not interrupted by crowds, has some steps, very well maintained walking path.
This place brings so much peace.... plus the absolutely stunning cliff view.. you have to see it to believe it.
Beautiful place for a relaxing walk, photos and just a breath of fresh air. 🙂
Stunning views from the top of Waverley Cliff Walk. There are 119 steps from Eastern Reserve heading south to Bondi so bring a good pair of shoes!
The Dover Heights Cliff Walk has finally reopened as of April 14, 2025. The new walk is much wider with better materials and better views. It has been closed for several years now so it is wonderful to have it open again. There are new benches and bins at the Lancaster road entrance as well as at Oceanview Street. There are new sandstone stairs in Eastern Reserve and some new plantings. Overall it is a huge improvement to highlight the stunning coastal views.
