Hermitage Foreshore Walk, Sydney

“Hermitage Foreshore Walk” is a self-guided walking tour in Sydney, Australia, made by Sydney Expert. It takes about 1 hour, costs a one-off A$3 to unlock and runs in your phone’s browser with a live map, so you can start whenever you like. No app or account needed.

The Hermitage Foreshore Walk flies under the radar of most Sydney visitors, and while it is not as dramatic as the Bondi to Coogee walk or as much of a challenge as the Spit Bridge to Manly, it's a stunning walk.

What I like most about it is that it is so unexpected, tucked in behind the busy New South Head Road; the track offers incredible harbour views, native bushland, tiny deserted beaches and a glimpse into the waterfront lifestyle in Sydney’s most expensive suburbs.
