Why locals recommend it
Magical view after magical view make Manly’s North Head Sanctuary a photographer’s dream. A short distance from Manly Wharf, it’s perfect for action shots of the city’s water traffic, from enormous cruise ships to ferries, mega-yachts, and kayaks. There’s no other outlook quite like it, and it’s the ideal place to take a panoramic photo or two. It’s a popular stop on early morning walks, but I love North Head Sanctuary at dusk, when the city has an orange glow and the buildings begin to turn their lights on. You could spend hours shooting here in the evening, and no two photos will ever be the same—things change that fast.

Tips from locals
Best views of Sydney harbour and bushland, approx 8km walk and a must do - beautiful beaches located along the walk and various lookout points. Take your camera!!!
Amazing views over Sydney. Dense vegetation, wildlife, feels like the country
Walking through North Head’s peaceful and pristine heathland, it can be easy to forget that you’re only 11km from the CBD. As you explore, you’ll encounter diverse wildlife and flora, military remains, and stunning views of the city and harbour.
