You start at Bald Hill Lookout with wind under your wings and the ocean stretching hard and blue to the horizon. Hang gliders drift like slow punctuation marks, and the road unfurls southward toward the Seacliff Bridge where the coastline leans into the sea. Each stop—Altitude 1148's coffee rimmed by salt air, the basalt faces at Bombo Headland, and the hush of Nan Tien Temple—shifts the day between ocean, rock and quiet.
