Narrabeen Lagoon — Attraction in Sydney

Close to Narrabeen Beach, this circular walk has several starting points to choose from and there are several car parking spots at each entry location. There are boardwalks and it is flat, so an easy walk. If you go the whole way around it’s about 8.5km. Not sure about the war association with this place but there are numerous information, educational plaques about Australia’s war history around the lake. What we saw: lots of very fat ducks, about six restaurants and cafes, lovely scenery, some very posh houses, people kayaking( there is a hire place) and trying to kite/ wind surf, lots of walkers and kids on bikes, someone taking their cat on a walk in some kind of pet...

It's a great place to walk or ride. Super flat, so runner and kid friendly too. On a sunny day, there are plenty of people, but all enjoying the same thing, so it has a good vibe. The walking/bike track right around the lake is scenic and flat, not much sealed surface, but we saw road bikes doing it with no problems. It's about 8.5km. Closer to Narrabeen, there are places to eat. A few carparks surround the lake, but why not take the B1 bus and make it a car free day. Oh, and if that's not enough, it's probably just a 10-minute walk to the beach on the Narrabeen side. Also, I love the new bike/walk bridge on Pittwater Rd. The road bridge was always way too narrow for many...

We absolutely love Narrabeen Lagoon. My favourite thing to do is to bring my 7yr for a bike ride around the Lagoon. It's about 8kms and fairly easy provided they have learnt to control and balance pretty well on their bike.

Paths can be narrow in places with people and dogs walking along with other riders in both directions, but people are generally careful and helpful to move aside. A bike bell is recommended.

Some great cafes are there too and a really nice play area for little ones near the Tramshed Cafe.

You can also rent kayaks and cycle boats to take out onto the Lagoon. I'm yet to venture out but look forward to doing...
