Did you sea what we did? Clontarf seawall and bleachers works completed

Since the 19th century, Clontarf has been popular for socialising and picnicking, renowned for its views of Middle Harbour, Clontarf Marina, and the Spit Bridge. It not only attracts locals but tourists and visitors from all over Sydney who stop here on the popular Manly to Spit Walk. 

The seawall and tiered sandstone bleachers are now complete for everyone to continue to enjoy one of the harbour’s most iconic beaches. Both overlook the tidal pool and protect the foreshore reserve from damaging wave action during storms. It’s a wonderful vantage point to sit and take in the fresh air and great views of the area.

Also completed are stairs and an accessible pathway and ramp from the carpark to the beach making access to the tidal pool easier for all.

A new beach shower tower and foot wash area is a welcomed addition and the existing memorial seating is being restored and reinstated.

The project is part of the Clontarf Reserve Landscape Masterplan – a multi-million-dollar upgrade including a new children’s playground, improved amenities block, realigning the carpark in the reserve to create a safer and more cohesive open space, as well as landscaping and pathway upgrades.

This month, Council will start restoring the foreshore edge south of pool to the boat ramp with a single row of sandstone logs, replacing the old dilapidated timber seawall to prevent erosion, preserve the parklands and deliver improved amenity and environmental outcomes.

So pack a picnic, gather your family, friend of the four-legged variety, and go enjoy this little gem.
