2026 WHALE TRAIL: Narrabeen to "Sunday Sippers" at Bilgola Beach!!!

We looooove our Sydney trails that treat us to **secret beaches**. We love finishing our events at **secret bars you’d never find**! What about an event… a **stunning hike that finishes at a** **secret beach bar** **with a band** that starts at 4pm bringing us right into a glorious sunset? On August 30, we did this hike but from the other way… Palm Beach down to Bilgola, and let me say this… **SUNDAY SIPPERS AT BILGOLA SLSC IS ONE OF THE COOLEST LITTLE BARS IN ALL OF SYDNEY!!!** It’s RIGHT on the beach. It’s only open once a month. And the bartender said “Late September we’ll have a full band on – it will be a great Northern Beaches scene.” **This hike is beautiful. This bar is unforgettable (burger, beer pic is from Bilgola SLSC). Don’t miss this HIKE!** **THE HIKE. Narrabeen Beach to Bilgola Beach - 13.5kms.** We'll meet at the bus stop in North Narrabeen ([CLICK HERE for exact point where 199 bus drops)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Northern+Beaches+Community+College,+Pittwater+Rd/@-33.7022113,151.2985563,18.82z/data=!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x6b0d550541a46f25:0x5017d681632c2f0!2sNarrabeen+NSW+2101!3b1!8m2!3d-33.7222735!4d151.2984024!16zL20vMDM4eDgz!3m5!1s0x6b0d54e1517e958b:0x284ff3157c081ca9!8m2!3d-33.702148!4d151.298203!16s%2Fg%2F11gzdz06t?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDgyNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \- we'll discuss it in the [whatsapp chat too](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FXMgLB7M7Rp7jH6ol6nf8g)). The 199 bus stop is there, then we'll cross the road and check out the rockpool then head into **Narrabeen Headland** which gives the most spectacular views south. Onward we go to **Turimetta Beach** (10/10 breathtaking) and **Lookout**… to the **Turimetta Headland Reserve, Warriewood Lookout & Blowhole**, **Warriewood Beach (again gorgeous), then to Mona Vale Beach (voted 6th best in the world, Conde Naste)**… North of that? **Basin Beach. Bungan Beach**.... these two are truly beautiful. We'll climb out of Bungan then head to **Newport Beach...** around the headland is **Bilgola Beach**, and we'll descend down some lovely stairs right onto the sand where **Bilgola SLSC** lies. **13.5kms in total**. Beach walk. Inclines. And all the rest. Fitness required for this one. The **B1 bus / 199 bus are our friends all day to start, get home, and even provide some outs if you want to stop hiking and meet us at the pub.** If you parked your car at the start (there is free parking but DIY research) it's super easy to bus back south. Post-pub the 199 bus is literally up the stairs from Bilgola and runs every 10minutes. We'll arrive at the pub about 320pm (330pm opens)... I get it. It's Sunday. If you want to leave? That's okay. One drink. Stay longer? All options are open... See you for one of my favourite Sydney hikes and definitely my favourite (new) secret bar!

Surry Hills Secret Bar Crawl (Perfect for Singles & Solos)

**This is the most fun way to make new friends & discover Sydney's best cocktail bars and secret spots!** CURRENT CONFIRMED ATTENDEES (incl. outside Meetup): 6 Get ready to explore Sydney's best small bars in Surry Hills with a fun group of travellers and locals. Every Saturday, we hit the town on a bar tour that is specially designed for singles and solos (but non-solos, e.g., couples and friends are also welcome). Perfect for people new to Sydney and locals who want a fun and unique night out. Over 3.5 hrs, you'll visit some of Surry Hill's best small bars, and finish at a place where the tequila shots are delicious. We stop for drinks at 3 or 4 different bars, with the first drink (beer or wine) included. As we explore, you'll hear stories of local heroes & villains, crazy but true history and learn a bit about Australian slang and humour too. Good drinks, great bars, fun times & new friends from all over the world - this is your ticket to the best night out in Sydney! Not everyone who attends is single or a solo, but on a Saturday night, normally more than half of our group are. There may also be couples and groups of friends joining. Importantly, this is not a lame "speed-dating" event - just a safe way to explore Sydney's nightlife while meeting other people, including other singles. Note this isn't a "backpacker pub crawl" with hundreds of people - we go to quality small bars that locals drink at (no sticky floors and no cheap shots). The maximum group size is 12 people so it is perfect for solo travellers and people new to Sydney. The average age of guests is from mid-20s to mid-40s, but everyone over 18 is welcome. **What we'll provide:** * 1 alcoholic drink (beer or wine only) at the first bar * 3.5-hour guided activity * Reservations at 3 to 4 small or hidden bars * Group photos * Map with recommendations **Prices:** * Normally: $65 * Meetup members: $55 Check out photos of previous secret bar crawls on Instagram at @localsaucetours **Who's your host?** Your hosts will be from the Local Sauce Tours team. We're all well-versed in Sydney's nightlife and all spend far too much time hunting out the best bars in Sydney, so trust us, we've done our research for this experience. Our Secret Bar Crawl is one of the top-rated nightlife experiences on Airbnb in the world - check out all our reviews here: www.airbnb.com/secretbarcrawl **Please note: If you want to attend, you also need to book on our website here: https://localsaucetours.com.au/tour/secret-bar-crawl/.

Coast, History and Lookouts! Little Manly, Sydney’s Q Station and North Head.

**Most of us have done the Taronga Zoo to Manly Walk or some version of it, right? How about a walk just as good, but different?** **We will meet at Circular Quay Wharf 3 in time to catch the 9.30am ferry. If you prefer to go straight to Manly, please be outside Max Brenner at Manly Wharf no later than 10am (ferry arrives at 9.52am). Please be on time.** **From here we will walk along the coast to Little Manly Cove and then make our way to North Head in the Sydney Harbour National Park.** **Part of this walk is along a 6-foot stone wall built to segregate the military area (no longer under military control) from the rest of the peninsula. This can get muddy so wear appropriate shoes.** **Then we will make our way to Sydney’s Q Station where people were quarantined. We will visit the Third Class Precinct, Hospital Precinct and Wharf Precinct where we will have a break and visit the small museum (there is a beach here for those that want to take a dip).** **We will then climb 250 steps to reach the Former First Class Precinct and wonder around before heading out.** **Although there are no guarantees, there is very little chance of being infected by anything serious (so they told me).** **From here, we will head to the North Fort Precinct along the Sanctuary Loop, a walking track that points out all the wildflowers along the way, and we will do the Fairfax Walk where we will spend time at the Burragula and Yiningma Lookouts, with glorious views of South Head and the city skyline. We will have lunch here.** **After lunch, we will complete the Sanctuary Loop, visit the Barracks Precinct and make our way back to Manly via Shelly Beach.** **As is customary with my walks where possible, there will be the opportunity for a gelato at The Corso (Anita Gelato is my recommendation, but there is also Messina’s and others, as well as ice-cream at Ben & Jerry’s and Copenhagen, and a number of frozen yogurt shops).** **We will aim to finish at around 3.30pm.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISTANCE: About 16 km.** **GRADE: Medium, a few hills but nothing too strenuous.** **NOTE: Plenty of get-out points, just let the Host know if you leave the walk.** **IMPORTANT INFORMATION:** · **Be Prepared: Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water (refill points available), and dress for the weather.** · **Follow Instructions: Please follow the instructions of the Host at all times and keep the Host within sight** · **RSVP Responsibly and Be Ontime at the Designated Meeting Point: Update your RSVP if you can’t make it.** **GRATUITY: $10 applies to this event which can be paid in cash on the day or PayID is 0439 344987 Cristian Sylvestre.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISCLAIMER: Your health and safety is our priority and we take care to minimize risk and avoid accidents and injuries.** **However, Organizers and Hosts are not responsible for your health and safety and do not accept any liability for accidents and injuries that may occur during Meetup activities and events.
