Little narrow lagoon lurking between Coral Crescent & Diamond Street, Pearl Beach. There's houses backing onto it but a public park round it and plenty of ducks.
See big version.
This track goes off the access from Coral Crescent.
Note using it put you in danger of "death or serious injury". Coupla minutes later I saw someone cycling merrily along one of the dodgier parts.

A better photo of Pearl Beach & Green Point.
Behind the camera is Mt Ettlong (AKA Patonga Ridge) and behind that is Umina Beach & Woy Woy. To the right of the camera is Pearl Beach the township. To the left is the open sea as seen through the heads and Box Head.

"Mt Ettlong" should read Mount Ettalong.
