Federation Cliff Walk

Federation Cliff Walk is a scenic coastal promenade in Dover Heights within the Woollahra local government area of Sydney, New South Wales. Stretching along sandstone cliffs between Dover Heights and Watsons Bay, it offers panoramic views of the Tasman Sea, Sydney Harbour and North Head. Notable for its cliff-top lookouts, historic Macquarie Lighthouse views and whale-watching opportunities, the paved walk connects several reserves and is a popular urban coastal walk.

Visitors can expect a paved cliff-top walking track along high sandstone cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour entrance. The walk passes through reserves including Weonga Reserve, Raleigh Reserve and Christison Park, with fenced lookouts, bench seating and interpretive signage. Views include Macquarie Lighthouse, The Gap, North Head and on clear days the Sydney skyline. The environment is exposed and coastal, with ocean breezes, native coastal vegetation and opportunities for photography and whale watching in season.
