Sightseeing

Directly below Mount Ettalong Lookout there is a footpath where you can walk from Umina Beach to Pearl Beach. It is just a short and fairly easy walk around the headland but still offers nice aerial views of both Umina and Pearl Beach. You can reach it either from the footpath right at the northern part of Pearl Beach, or from the southern end of Umina Beach. You can bring dogs on this walk but keep them on a lead as there are some steep drop-offs. Dogs can be off-leash both on the northern end of Pearl Beach as well as on Umina Beach, so it is a perfect walk to take your dog on.

Pearl Beach to Patonga Walk The hike takes about 1 hour each way to complete, but if you are doing a round trip, it would take you around 3 hours. This will give you time to sit and enjoy the views from the lookouts part way through the walk as well as spend some time on the beach. From Pearl Beach make your way to the start of the walk on Crystal Avenue: located on the southern end of Pearl Beach not far from Green Point Creek. Walk down Crystal Avenue and when the row of houses end you’ll see a path on your left: the Pearl Beach Patonga Fire trail. The walk will take you gradually uphill through the National Park. Keep following the path up – you will see some caves on your left and then a lookout on your right overlooking Pearl Beach and Broken Bay. The hike is short enough that children can do it. However, as you will be walking through National Park you are unable to bring your dog on the walk You can get food either at Pearl Beach or at Patonga Beach – both have a couple of restaurants and shops. There are no options along the walk for food, so make sure you have food before or bring some snacks, or alternatively enjoy a nice meal once you have done the hike.

Mount Ettalong Lookout provides stunning views. However, you will need a car to get here as there is no footpath for most of the way – you would have to walk along the winding road up the mountain which isn’t very safe as there isn’t much space for pedestrians.
