Curl Curl to Dee Why Coastal Walk




A short, scrappy little coastal walk strung between two of the Northern Beaches' best-known stretches of sand. A lagoon boardwalk, a coastal bush track, and ocean views the whole way, over almost before it starts.
My experience & recommendations
Park: on Lumsdaine Dr, just before the boardwalk ↗
- Start at the boardwalk and follow the path all the way along Curl Curl Beach. It adds a bit of length to the walk, but it's stunning and worth it.
- One of the quieter coastal walks around, a mix of headland lookouts and coastal bush track.
- Plenty of beaches and spots to swim or chill along the way if you want to turn it into a full day out.
- Finishes at Dee Why Beach, one of the more low-key, less crowded ones on this stretch.
Getting back: Get the 166 bus back to Curl Curl, about 15–20 minutes. Or grab a Didi if you don't fancy the wait.
