Watson's Bay is the home of Doyles Restaurant. Our water taxis can land on the beach right out the front.

Other attractions include The Gap, an ocean cliff on the eastern side with spectacular views to Manly at North Head and the Pacific Ocean. The main beach and large park are great spots for a picnic. For the adventurous there is also Sydney's only legal nude beach.
