Pittwater Road, Bayview, NSW 2104

Pittwater Road forks at Mona Vale where the northward bound through-route becomes Barrenjoey Road, and the western bound Pittwater road becomes a quieter section. It is at first part of a bustling urban area, and becomes more sedate, passing by townhouses, the Bayview golf course (replete with large spanking new clubhouse), and Pittwater Highschool.

Slightly further down the road is Rowland Reserve, a large waterfront park with boat ramp (and boat trailer parking) and a huge dog friendly water front park.
This is the prime dog free park in the northern beaches – and families often make a day out of it – in warmer weather, the kids can be seen to frolic in the water, just as much as the dogs.

Continuing on, the road passes a couple of waterfront tennis courts, a local (and hugely overpriced) kiosk in the same block as the Green Pearl Thai restaurant and a couple of marinas. Then it passes by Loquat Valley School, a private Anglican school with a great reputation, and continues down a broad elegant avenue of exclusive, and huge, waterfront estates.

The Quay’s Marina nearby offers a pleasant café with waterfront seating and reasonable food and pricing and beyond this the road continues on to Church Point.
