It’s excellent, and so many people are already using it. Thank you Northern Beaches Council.

We (Newport residents) really look forward to section from Bilgola to Avalon being completed as was the original plan! It just takes the locals from Bilgola and Avalon to support it!

Move over, Bondi to Coogee – the Northern Beaches is building a 36-kilometre rival 👀

The newest section of the coastal walk is now open: 750 metres of boardwalks and lookouts between Newport Beach and Bilgola, free and away from the traffic 🌊
