Narrabeen Lagoon Trail

Narrabeen Lagoon Trail is a dog walk in Avalon Beach, NSW, where the route offers scenic views of the tranquil lagoon, lush bushland, mangroves, and parklands, with opportunities to spot diverse birdlife and pass by cafes and playgrounds.

The walk

Underfoot it is mixed (paved, gravel, dirt, boardwalk, steel bridges, sandstone).

Lead rules

Northern Beaches Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Avalon Beach for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Avalon Beach to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Bangalley Headland Track is the other local walk worth comparing.
