Camp Cove Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Watsons Bay with plenty of shade. Just 250m away, Watsons Bay Beach is a great nearby beach to visit with your dog.

Nice place. Worth to take a walk but difficult to find parking.

Went for a night dive, it is a shallow dive, lots of bobtail squid, pajama squid and was lucky enough to see a small headed sole. There is parking close by, it gets packed during the day. At night/afternoon it is pretty quite.

Loved the walk to South Head and saw dolphins frolicking

Small patch of grass that we walked by en route to Camp Cove. It's more like a neighborhood garden with some benches, than anything. Don't expect too much, but if you're staying in the area and need a space to sit down on some grass, this can be an option. Alternatively, head towards Hornby Lighthouse and Camp Cove beach; that's nicer.

Quiet little reserve or park in Camp Cove, a few park benches but not much else on offer. Good place if you’re looking for a bit of privacy and no big crowds.
