Known forlower north shoreharbour beachcalm waterelegant
A sheltered harbour beach on Middle Harbour with calm, shark-netted water, a rotunda, and a genteel atmosphere that feels distinctly different from the ocean beaches. It's a favourite for families with young children and those who prefer flat water swimming. The strip of cafes and the Bathers' Pavilion restaurant add a touch of elegance. Getting here without a car requires some effort via bus from Mosman.
