Spring Cove

✨ Hidden gem

Spring Cove sits on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour near Manly Cove, offering a sheltered anchorage tucked away from the main harbour traffic. It's a genuinely peaceful spot, with bushland fringing the waterline and easy access to the Manly Scenic Walkway if you want to stretch your legs ashore. The historic quarantine station at North Head is right on your doorstep, making it one of the more atmospheric places to drop anchor in the harbour.
