Parks & Nature
Travel up to the top of the peninsula and check this out if you haven't been. You won't be disappointed. The setting for "Home and Away", it's really beautiful. If you're feeling energetic hike up to the lighthouse (do not forget water!). Otherwise just stroll around and enjoy the beach

This place is fantastic. Overlooking Pittwater and with a deck over the water it's so good that it gets very busy at weekends. If you can manage to get a table the food and location do not get much better.
