Local Attractions
Beautiful ocean beaches, great swimming and surfing for those who like the waves, plus the enclosed waters of Pittwater, offering endless opportunities for sailing, boating, kayaking and just about anything else you can do on the water. Palm Beach (of Home and Away fame) is a short drive away (a walk up to the lighthouse is a must) as is the lovely beachside town of Avalon. Kuring Gai National Park is on the doorstep with some great bushwalking, Aboriginal engravings, picnic areas and spectacular views of Pittwater. There are plenty of shopping opportunities nearby from small boutiques to the impressive Warringah Mall. Loads of cafes and restaurants nearby to suit every taste. The Newport Arms Hotel is 10 minute walk away and has a great beer garden that is kid friendly and serves good food. If you like things a bit more upmarket it also has a very good restaurant upstairs. A fantastic place to go for a beer or a meal and watch the sunset over Pittwater.
