Yellow Brick Road

Yellow Brick Road is a dog walk in Avalon Beach, NSW, where the route offers expansive ocean views, coastal bushland, and glimpses of impressive houses along the way, with some sections potentially having dirt paths and stairs.

The walk

Underfoot it is dirt paths, grass, some stairs.

Lead rules

Northern Beaches Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

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.
