Narrabeen Lagoon Trail
Walking trail: Grade Easy | 8.6km one-way | 2-3 hour return
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the surf and sand of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the Narrabeen Lagoon Walking Trails offer a perfect retreat into nature. Encircling the picturesque Narrabeen Lagoon, these trails provide a scenic, family-friendly loop that’s ideal for walkers, runners, cyclists, photographers, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in Sydney’s stunning coastal wetlands.
Located just minutes from the suburbs of Narrabeen, Cromer, and Warriewood, the trails are easily accessible yet feel wonderfully removed from the hustle of the city. They are a hidden gem for locals and travellers alike, offering a mix of boardwalks, shared-use paths, open lawns, and bird-filled wetlands — all surrounded by native bushland.

- Combine your walk with a picnic or a coffee at nearby Narrabeen village.
