cross road and go down stairs to balmoral oval, or turn right here to detour out to middle head or obelisk and cobbler's beaches.
go across oval to beach
various cafes and more serious restaurants
if high tide or not keen on rock scrambling and getting feet wet, go up stairs to wyargine street follow over to burran ave, hopetoun ave and walkway down to rosherville reserve and chinamans beach.
the route around the water line, usually involves at least getting your feet wet and some rock scrambling. sometimes the water can be waste high and the jumping and crawling over some boulders may be too hard for some.
where path comes down the alternative route
again a choice, along the water line or up the stairs to cyprian st. right at parriwi and follow it down to the spit. the water level route is not as tricky as the last one, but still tide dependant.........
go behind the sewer pumping building, and continue along the road in front the sailing clubs and restaurants to the bridge.
onto bridge footpath, cross bridge, occasionally goes up to allow sailing boats through. shouldnt hold you up very long and always good for a look.
turn down driveway to carpark, across carpark to start of spit to manly walk
there is a restaurant and kiosk here, hours are a bit unreliable.
turn righ and go along beach.
up stairs, bush track at end of beach

look out for opening to right of track, aboriginal rock carvings, with a great view.
lots of great view points along here.
nice lookout (lower) just off track here. you get to see manly, deceptively close now,
reef beach, used to be nudist, not sure if it still is, dont think so.
forty basket beach, netted swimming area too.
following asphalt road. past boat builders, can take waterline, just past boat shed if low tide, high tide would be very muddy so take road, up and around is much better,
boat shed here right, down along water or left up along road.
right down path across bridge over creek/waterfall.
