Burragula Lookout

Burragula Lookout sits on the heath-covered clifftops of North Head in Sydney Harbour National Park, near Manly. Its main draw is the outlook: from here, visitors can gaze across Sydney Harbour towards South Head and take in a broad view of the Sydney skyline. The setting feels open and restful, with the harbour and ocean spread out beyond the headland.

The lookout forms part of the easy Fairfax walk, making it a straightforward option for a scenic outing on foot. An accessible path is available for visitors with reduced mobility, so more people can enjoy the views. Bring drinking water, a hat and sunscreen, particularly for a longer visit on the exposed clifftops.

Burragula Lookout also suits visitors interested in wildlife and the wider North Head landscape. It is a good place to watch for whales in season, and binoculars are recommended for that purpose. North Head is also known for boat diving, although that is a separate activity from the lookout experience. As the site is within the national park, vehicle entry fees apply at North Head. For a solo walk, a relaxed scenic stop near Manly or an accessible outing with family and friends, Burragula offers a clear view across some of Sydney’s most recognisable harbour scenery.
