Hike summary

This is an interesting walk starting from Kurnell and following a series of bush tracks and service trails along the coast with great ocean views. The walk offers some great views of the coast city and some great local landscapes including sand dunes and hanging swamps. The small side trip up to the Cape Bailey lighthouse is well worth it and provides a nice spot for lunch.
