Waverley Cliff Walk - Dover Heights

The Waverley Cliff Walk at Dover Heights follows the clifftops with open ocean views along the way. Dogs are welcome on-leash, and bag stations and bins are provided along the path for an easy walk. It is a breezy, scenic route rather than a park to settle in. A pleasant on-leash clifftop walk with a sea view.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on leash. Keep your dog under control and follow signs on site. (Source: Waverley.)

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.
