Como Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

First opened in 1885, Como Bridge has linked the northern and southern shores of the Georges River for well over a century. Today, a shared pedestrian and cycle path runs alongside the active railway, offering wide river views as trains pass by just metres away. It's a memorable crossing that combines Sydney's railway heritage with one of the city's most scenic waterfront walks.

Wild Surf at Cronulla Beach

Highlight • Beach

It’s a very nice safe ride from Sans Souci and the Captain Cook Bridge all the way to Cronulla using a combination of bike ways and bike lanes. For birdwatchers there are places to stop along the way on Botany Bay before riding on further to Cronulla and the surf beaches.

Woolooware Bay

Highlight • Natural

Woolooware Bay's name comes from the Aboriginal word "Wooloowa," meaning "muddy track". It is still a fitting description today, since tidal mudflats are one of the first things you notice about the bay. It also hosts over 30 species of migratory shorebirds each year, so it's worth slowing down and taking a break here to take in the sights. Along the bay here, there is also a rest area with picnic tables and space to park bikes, making this a good pause point along the cycleway.

There is also an old, abandoned jetty you'll pass along the path here.

Captain Cook Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

This bridge connects Taren Point Road in Taren Point to Rocky Point Road in San Souci, with some great views over the river. There is a cycle/pedestrian path along the bridge but stay aware since it can be narrow and there is often bike traffic.
