You can's drive down to Bungan which makes it very secluded. It is a steep path down. At low tide we will sometimes walk north around the headland to get home. It is a good walk for the sure footed.

Take a ferry to the Basin or book with Pittwater Kayak Tours and go for a paddle. It will be more than worth it. You can even catch a ferry up to the Wagstaff and Ettalong for the day.
