DESCRIPTION

This is an INTERMEDIATE-rated site due to the distance of the beach from take-off. Please contact the Club before flying here for the first time. A North East facing cliff, with a lower section on the western end that is less steep and covered in coastal scrub and a higher vertical cliff face towards the ocean end. Pilots fly over the 'blow hole', a sea cavern that runs though part of the headland.

ACTIVITIES

weather

It's a long way to the beach if the wind is light. Don't cross onto the main face until your body is level with the sandstone lookout. Lower down on the face there is a often a dead zone and you may find you are not climbing, it's truly a long way back to the beach from this situation. If the wind moves to the north, the landing on Warriewood beach becomes affected by rotor from the Cooks Terrace headland. Pilots making the return run from Cooks Terrace will come around the Northern end of the ridge quite low and cannot be seen from the take off.

access

On Narrabeen Park Parade. When coming from the south, turn onto Ocean St off Pittwater rd. Follow along until you cross Narrabeen lagoon. Turn right at the second or northern roundabout onto Narrabeen Park Parade. Parking is on the side of the road.
