Hermit Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Hermit Bay is a beautifully secluded little harbour bay tucked along the Hermitage Foreshore, where you can drop anchor and take in the calm surroundings. A small stone sea wall frames the bay, and the foreshore has a picnic area if you want to stretch your legs ashore. On a clear day you'll catch views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge framed through the bushland — one of those spots that feels like a secret even though it's right in the middle of the harbour.
