Smooth & flat
Starting from Claude's Car Park, North Narrabeen, this walk takes you on a circuit around Narrabeen Lagoon, visiting Cement Works Lookout, berry Reserve and many other areas of interest along the way. You can enjoy the open views of the lagoon and have your lunch at any picnic area situated along the path. It is also possible to swim in the lagoon along with other activities such as canoeing, kayaking, snorkelling and fishing. You can also observe the duck ponds, beautiful flowers and black swans. Dogs are allowed in the area but on a leash for the protection of wild birds. The texture of the track varies between paved and boardwalk, and it is relatively flat. There are cyclers and runners along the walk, and it is a quite popular area. You might want to bring sunscreen with you as there can be certain sections that have less shade. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
