Turn left: From the intersection, this walk follows the beach, keeping the ocean to the right. At the end of the beach, the walk meets a bush track, following this as it joins a footpath after approximately 20m. This footpath heads up between the houses for a short distance before coming to the corner of Neil and Loftus Streets.
Continue straight: From the corner of Neil and Loftus Streets, this walk follows Loftus Street (leaving Neil St on the right). Loftus St turns right (at the corner of Eric St) then soon bends to the left, then continues along until coming down a hill to the beach, with a car park on the corner. The walk turns right and follows Brighton Street to the Bundeena Ferry Wharf.
