Edgecliff

Leafy harbour streets with McKell Park's waterfront green at the point. Quiet, scenic and made for a slow foreshore stroll.

Seaplanes overhead, harbour at your feet and Lyne Park for the foreshore amble. The east at its most relaxed — polished, breezy and good with dogs.

Sandstone terraces, boutique-lined Oxford Street and the leafy hush of Five Ways. Paddo does fashion and Sunday strolls in equal measure — bring a well-dressed dog.

Harbour beach, clifftop Gap walks and ferry-stop calm at the headland's tip. Scenic, breezy and made for a sea-air wander.

Leafy, lofty and quietly grand, with Cooper Park's bushland gully and off-leash trails tucked below the big homes. Harbour glimpses up top, room to roam down low.

Boutiques, brunch and a harbour edge at Steyne Park, where the off-leash set holds court. Polished, pricey and very happy to see a well-groomed dog.

Harbour beaches, Nielsen Park and leafy clifftop streets at the city's polished eastern tip. Coastal, calm and made for a swim-and-stroll kind of day.

Queen Street antiques, boutique storefronts and leafy terrace streets on Centennial Park's edge. The east at its most polished, made for a window-shop wander with a well-bred dog.

Leafy harbour streets and tucked-away coves at the city's most exclusive point. Quiet, scenic and made for a slow foreshore stroll.
