The short side trip to Towlers Bay Lookout brings you out above the bay, with Pittwater stretching beyond the bush-covered slopes below. It’s about a kilometre from the main Bairne Track junction, so it adds a worthwhile detour without changing the walk too much. The lookout feels nicely removed from the busier parts of West Head, especially when the water is calm.

Enjoyable walk over wide paths. Beautiful viewpoints at West Head and also at Soldier's Point. With a little luck you will spot some Lace Monitor Lizzards.
Basic level of fitness required.
