This is a hidden gem in Ku-ring-gai National Park, beautiful spot with water front, fishing, small trails, ample of parking. public toilets. Boat hire option and very calm environment with a feeling of rain forest. Must visit if you are looking for some quiet time. Only negative, that we cannot buy food here but Maccars Creek is very nearby and lot of options for food.

Quiet, cicadas, you and nature. A place for family or a solo wanderer . Grab a chair, a book and enjoy the breeze and the shadows of the eucalyptus trees. This is a hidden spot worth visiting and protecting. Toilet facilities. Awesome for kayaking and SUP, not so much for swimming unless you protect your feet from oysters.

What a surprise when we stopped there. We were not expecting to find such an amazing place. One of the most peaceful place I have been around Sydney. The water is calm. Atmosphere is relax. People having barbecues, playing with dogs.... it was almost sunset and the lights were so good. We could admire the splendid houses that are along the River. Perfect spot for a picnic or just read a book.
