Bobbin Head was one of the first access points to broken Bay for the residents of Sydney. Home to the historic Halvorsens boat shed, people have been hiring boats from here for over 100 years. Also a favourite picnic spot with expansive flat grassy areas, BBQ facilities, toilets and a recently constructed, huge children’s playground. The boat shed has limited last minute supplies and there is a coffee shop operating with a relaxing outlook over the marina. Definitely worth a visit to let the kids run wild while you enjoy breakfast, lunch or a coffee, or simply just a sticky beak. If coming ashore best check in with the boatshed as to which mooring is available for visitors.
Overnighting is possible on one of the boat sheds moorings or on a public mooring in Lords Bay, Cotton Tree Bay or Waratah Bay which are off the main Channel leading to Bobbin Head. Both offer good protection and seclusion, they are often empty largely due to the fact that not many people know they are there.
