As a big global city, Sydney<\/a> can sometimes feel fast-paced and dominated by motor vehicles. But Sydney is also home to some of Australia\u2019s most gorgeous coastal and bush walks, with stunning views of perfect beaches, beautiful national parks and a certain world-famous harbour to help keep you motivated. Here are seven of our favourites.<\/p>\n

1. Barrenjoey Lighthouse Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Palm Beach<\/h4>\n

Right at the very tip of Palm Beach stands Barrenjoey Lighthouse, a heritage-listed structure that was built in 1881 and has become one of Sydney’s most iconic attractions. This walk will take you up the hill to the lighthouse, with plenty of wonderful restaurants and fantastic barbecue, picnic and swimming spots along the way.
\nBest for:<\/strong> It\u2019s a short hike at just 2.2 km and easy for the most part, so it\u2019s suitable for most fitness levels \u2013 however, it can get quite steep in places. There is also the harder Smugglers Track for those who like a\u00a0challenge.
\nHow to get there:<\/strong> Go to the most northern part of the Palm Beach<\/a> car park (past the Boat House) and follow the signs down to the beach and the tracks.<\/p>\n

2. Chowder Bay to Balmoral Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n
