Do NOT
- DO NOT walk on Manly rd when you get off the buss - it has dangerous traffic with no pedestrian access - use the path way on the left near the end of Avona Cres

FAQ
- Is there any place to eat there?
- At Manly yes, but not on the walk
- Should you bring your own lunch?
- Yes, and I recommend eating it at the look out to Sydney heads
- Is this suitable for people mobility disabilities?
- No
- Is it safe to swim at the beach?
- This I cannot answer - each person should decide this for themselves but remember this - the beach is a part of the ocean, and all oceans are unpredictable and should be treated with respect and caution - always swim between the yellow and red flags, if there are no flags, do not swim
