The road in/out of Akuna Bay is narrow and twisty, while the West Head section is open bends and 80km/h speed limit, with well maintained bitumen. There are usually some cyclists on these NP roads so be aware. The are multiple road and parking bay areas at West Head. There are many varied scenic viewing points for photos and walking.
3- Depart West Head at 11.00am to drive back to McCarrs General Store at Terry Hills (20mins).
