Watsons Bay and South Head

When Captain Phillip entered Botany Bay in January 1788, he could not find sufficient food and water resources. He sailed up the coast and found the entrance, now called "The Gap", to the harbour, described by Captain Cook in 1770 and happily admitted to have found "the
finest harbour in the world". He stayed at Camp Cove for 5 days before heading further into the harbour and into Sydney Cove. Camp Cove, Watsons Bay and South Head offer stunning views of the city, the harbour and the coastline. Once a small fishing village, Watsons Bay
quickly became the home of seamen and fishermen. Remnants of harbour defences, lighthouses and shipwrecks bear witness of the rough past of this part of Sydney. Enjoy a ferry trip from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay. We then walk along the coastline and take in the history, stories and views. If you love eating fish, you might want to stay for lunch at Doyles Restaurant at Watsons Bay, Sydney's most famous fish restaurant (optional).
