Things to do on Sydney Harbour
Introduction
5.
Sydney Harbour offers a variety of places to visit, ranging from clear sandy beaches, to
stunning real estate, exhilarating sailing to quiet bush anchorages.
Sydney Harbour Tour
6.
The classic trip, travel under the harbour bridge, past the opera house and do a lap of the
harbour. There are public moorings in Athol Bay (in front of Taronga Zoo) which offer stunning views
of the bridge and opera house. It's possible to stay overnight on these moorings but they are subject
to ferry wash.
Blackwattle Bay / Fish Market
7.
This bay next to the famous Fish Market is one of the most sheltered locations to spend the
night. The anchorage area is secure, free from ferry wash and full of atmosphere. It's also possible to
visit the Fish Market to purchase some fresh seafood.
Lane Cove
8.
This is an interesting excursion into the protected waters of Lane Cove where it's possible to
view some of Sydney's most stunning real estate. This is also a great location to find a vacant mooring
and spend the night.
Middle Harbour
9.
Touring Middle Harbour is a great adventure. The Spit Bridge must be negotiated before
exploring the upper reaches such as Bantry Bay or Sugarloaf Bay – both of these bays have public
moorings and offer secluded locations for overnight stays.
Balmoral
10.
It is possible to anchor out from Balmoral Beach over the white sand and clear water. This is an
ideal location on a hot day to swim off the back of the yacht. Be aware of the normal hazards
associated with swimming, and never swim whilst the engine is running.
