Round trip from the house

​

Take a stroll towards Bonnie Doon and then continue to the beach.  Walk along rocks at the end of the beach and past the net at the entrance to the Basin.  About 100m past the net find the path that runs parallel to the rocks.  Once on the path follow it up and enjoy stunning views of the Basin.  Continue along the path until you reach the fire trail and then take a left.  Continue until you get to a sign that points you in the direction of Soldiers Point track.  Follow this track to the end where you will be able to enjoy spectacular views of the Pittwater.  Make your way back down to the Coasters coastal track and back to The Retreat.   The walk takes about 11/2 hours and is fairly strenuous when you make your way from sea level up to the top of the ridge but the whole walk is absolutely spectacular and very manageable.
