Careening Cove

Careening Cove is a historically rich inlet on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour, just a short distance from Milsons Point, where you can drop anchor and soak it all in. The name comes straight from its colonial past — this is where early ships were hauled onto their sides and scrubbed clean, deliberately kept at arm's length from Sydney Cove's distractions. It sits on Cammeraygal Country, with the Harbour Bridge and city skyline framing the view in a way that never gets old.
