Narrabeen Beach to Newport Beach... Hike, Whales & Wine!!!

**From Balmoral Beach to Manly Beach… North Head to Long Reef Headland… and Narrabeen all the damn way up to Palm Beach there’s 65 kilometres of exquisite coastal hiking. In the past 3 weeks, we’ve trekked 54 of those kilometres and seen whales / dolphins while “Cheers’ing” with wine, so let’s complete the puzzle with an absolute cracker of an 11kilometres coastal hike that’s truly one of my favourites…. finishing at perhaps the best bar in all of Sydney.** **THE HIKE.** If “Warriedwood, Turimetta, Basin, and Bungan Beaches” kinda make you go “Huh, where?” then stop now, and hit the “Attend” button and just show up on time. You’re in for a day with some very, very special beaches. But let’s begin where our boots first hit dirt… **Narrabeen Headland** starts us off with some stunning views down the coast, and to be honest, I’ve never been to the rockpool there… slight detour to check it out. From there, it’s to **Turimetta Beach** – one of those 10/10 secret gems. The cliffs, the homes… the views. Wow. Back into the headland for some bush hiking, and we’ll descend upon **Warriewood Beach** – we’ll stop for 10min at **Sunrise Kiosk** – easily one of the cutest beach cafes from Cronulla to Palm Beach. Warriewood brings us to **Mona Vale** **Beach**, ***voted 6th best beach in the world by Condé Nast Traveller***. The rockpool (pictured) is truly something to see. **Basin Beach**, then a climb and neighbourhood walk to **Bungan Beach** (again – fantastic). Bungan’s climb will get the sweating and swearing going, then we descend down to the beautiful neighbourhood (and beach) of **Newport Beach**. I can’t believe this hike is only 11kms… there is so much damn beauty within these stunning beaches. Fancy a preview? This is somewhat of the journey you’ll see. I posted a video in facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19ovWZ46Ty/](https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19ovWZ46Ty/) **THE NEWPORT.** Best bar in all of Sydney? Hmmmmm. I’d say so. Or, you could never argue it out of my Top 3. **[The Newport](https://merivale.com/venues/thenewport/)** has it all… views, the outdoors, great food… it’s dog friendly, and there’s plenty of perving. After hiking to Newport Beach, we’ll jump on a 5minute bus that drops directly at the pub. If you’ve never been here you’re in for a jaw-dropper. **Driving?** Be savvy, and you can find free parking by The Newport. Get there early. Then take the 199 bus down to our starting point. Hike, then finish where your car is. **Bus?** **It’s a combination of B1 (from the city at Wynyard it goes north) and 199 bus.** I’ll drop a pin in the whatsapp chat. But the bus stop where we meet is “North Narrabeen – Northern Beaches Community College, Pittwater Rd” – it will look odd, but just be there on time / early and you’ll see us form as a group. **THE DAY.** A few things... a) First... if you join this event, **you must have a face pic on your MeetUp profile**, and you must come back here and **[click on this WHATSAP LINK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IoYPBeywLXYLrPoahQnjnP)**. This is non-negotiable. b) Gratuity $20 Cash or PayID on the day. Team, I hope you appreciate the effort I put into our events - and $20 for a full day out in Sydney is quite a bargain. A quick search, and ["Cool Girls Club"](https://www.coolgirlsclub.com.au/event-details/cgc-grown-x-spit-to-manly) charges $35 for Spit to Manly Hike. Another group $35 for Figure 8 Hike and $30 for North Head Manly (neither group does the food / drink "Cheers" at the end which makes our group pretty special). c) Big day, long day. If you don't fancy stopping at the bar, that's cool... the 199 bus stop is super close to the pub, and it runs every 10minutes. See you soon for a great, great day! MJ **THE FINER PRINT.** **Cancels / No shows.** Treat your RSVP like a restaurant reservation. No show / cancel on the day? That restaurant is my hiking group – you won’t be welcomed in the future.

15.6kms Incredible Coastal Hike & Secret "Sunday Sippers" Beach Bar!

Team. Don't miss this event. What a hike... and what a bar. We've found another **"How in the world did you find this bar MJ?"** type joints to *wet our whistles* together! It's directly on the beach. And it's only open one day per month for "SUNDAY SIPPERS" with live music. **Palm Beach Lighthouse** to **Newport Beach with Bilgola Beach and Sunday Sippers!** It's 15kms of coastal excellence and elegance. Let's goooooooooooooooo! We hiked this hike on the weekend (my first time). It's 10/10. ***The lighthouse view. The beaches. The lookouts. The rockpools. The whales (and seals we saw).The home architecture. All incredible...*** Now it's time to add an unforgettable beach bar. **SUNDAY SIPPERS.** Prior to hiking the full hike I did a little test run of the finale of this event to be sure the hiking path is open (it is) as council constructs a new sidewalk. While down on Bilgola Beach, I noticed their Surf Life Saving Club... totally empty but with this cool back garden, BBQ, and a set-up that would be fahkin' perfect for an afternoon beer. I walk around the corner and find their "Sunday Sippers" sign, and they open at 330pm on the last Sunday of the month. This is our spot for a drink, and it will be a great place to "Cheers" a memorable hike. When we finish, there's a bus stop at Bilgola Beach or we can finish the hike and jump on the bus at Newport Beach. **THE DAY.** A few things... a) First... if you join this event, **you must have a face pic on your MeetUp profile**, and you must come back here and **[click on this WHATSAP LINK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DZpwgwsBSso2nXz9ap1yug)**.

If you don't fancy stopping at the bar, that's cool... the 199 bus stop is super close to the pub (or finish the hike - Newport is the next beach), and it runs every 10minutes. **THE TRANSPORT.** Some moving parts, but here we go: a) **BUS FOLKS.** Take **B1 Bus to Mona Vale**. This is where we meet. Transfer at this stop to transfer to **199 Bus**. Be early. There’s a Coles, bathroom, bakery, coffee shop, etc... there. b) **DRIVERS**. Park by 11am at the latest. Please DIY research for parking at Mona Vale... side streets, or there's a free "Park & Ride" when using your Opal Card which you will. d) We all meet, and jump on the **199 Bus at 11:14am which drops at Palm Beach Golf Club. We start hiking there…** e) We finish at Newport Beach. The 199 Bus drops at Mona Vale where your cars (and B1 bus begins for us bus folks) are parked. *Bus up. Hike down.
