An exciting place to walk around. Lots of locations, lots of car parks, great views and a good place to watch whales migration.

Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub only 1℅ left. Unique place. Disability parking. Walking access to the Beach. If you drive into the park towards Cape Banks you will get prams/ large wheelchairs near the cliffs so you can picnic and watch the whales in the right season.

User

Great place to bring the pack! This place invites lots of adventurous pathways and a bush walk! There is an amazing view where you can spot whales during the right times.
Overall, great place to bush walk.

User

Really great place for walk, nice view, well maintained track. Not far from the city, accessible with public transport. If you are lucky you can see whale during their migration.

Beeaaauuutiful place where one can go whale-watching or rock fishing (risky though). The big waves rise like emerald glass that shatter into tiny fragments upon hitting the marble cliffs. Find a smooth surface and sit with your legs crossed. Close your eyes and listen to the smashing of the waves and the howling of the sea. Hike a little further and you'll find exquisite succulents growing in the wild and bushes that grow like big broccolis. Take the trail to the small lighthouse. Write your name in the sand.

A lovely place to hang around. Has a good spot to watch whales during the migration but make sure to carry a good pair of binoculars. Has nice picnic areas too. If you just want to ride your bike a little bit, this is a good place to do it.

Loved the national park here, great facilities with amazing costal walk and lookouts. Such an amazing place.

User

Kurnell could do with some capital investment including removal of unsightly oil pipes now that the Refinery has closed. Needs more competition of eateries. However the beach is lovely and there is an off-leash beach area for dogs at the further point.
