Every year our Sunday School would hire a ferry and take us kids here. it was awesome and still is a good outing. Big plus that you can look out from the beach onto the harbour.

Best place in Sydney for an afternoon picnic, take a bottle of wine some picnic supplies, or get fish and chips on Friday night.

The Shark Beach is a nice place to visit on a warm sunny day. Can swim in the water since enclosed with netting all around the swimming area. There is a kiosk for fast food. Make sure to get a rug to sit on. The main drawback on a warm day is parking and need to do a few rounds...

This is a nice little park and beach not far away from CBD. The beach has nice sand and especially in side times it is worth a visit and a swim. Don't come in summer in the middle of the day, would be more than a sardine feeling.
There is a restaurant and a kiosk where some basics can be...

Family friendly, great views of Sydney Harbour and ferries passing by. perfect for family and group picnics. We went for primary school year end and the children had a great time. Parking can sometimes be an issue though.

With a great beach and a shark net this is one of the best places for a swim in Sydney Harbour. Avoid after heavy rains if entering the water.
