Take a ferry to a quiet and relaxing part of Sydney with sensational harbour and ocean views. Watsons Bay is a favourite with Sydneysiders. Whether you are after take-away fish and chips, a pub meal or upmarket seafood, this place has it all.

Doyle’s has a monopoly on the food here. There's the Doyle's pub, Doyle's on the jetty, Doyles' on the beach. And there's a take away fish and chip place. The pub has a lovely beer garden with great views. But like all Doyle's establishments, the food isn’t exactly cheap. So don't plan on eating at any of the Doyle's places if you are  keeping a budget. 

If a picnic is more your style, there is a lovely park as soon as you get off the jetty.

After lunch, you may feel inclined to do some exercise. Walk up Military Rd to the cliff top and some expansive views of the Tasman Sea which joins the South Pacific Ocean. You can do a coastal walk from here where you will get great views of North Head, sandstone cliffs, and other stunning coastal views.

Of if you feel like going for a swim, there’s a harbour pool next to the Vaucluse Yacht Club, just down from the wharf.
