The Sea Cliff Bridge Lookout, located in Clifton, Illawarra just south of Sydney, offers stunning aerial views of the iconic bridge winding along the cliffs. Take it from me who usually goes in the afternoon, try get to the lookout before the sun goes behind the cliffs - as it will cast a large shadow (still beautiful, but a bit darker!).
Despite its popularity on social media, this unofficial lookout is actually quite a hidden gem. Starting at the nearby Clifton playground carpark, you'll see signs pointing to the start of the track. It's a short but steep 10-minute hike up to the viewpoint, providing a beautiful view of the bridge and cliffs!
