Chowder Bay Walk

Be sure and give yourself a good half day if you are wanting to do the return journey (approx 7-8kms), otherwise just do it one way and catch the bus back or have someone meet you.

Chowder Bay is picture perfect and not often viewed by outsiders. Most people usually drive straight through Mosman on their way either in or out of the city but the locals know of this hidden gem on the harbour. So take the opportunity to search this peaceful place out, you won't be disappointed.

This stretch between Bradleys Head and Middle Head is a really neat place to visit, the many trees and shaded areas make it very pleasing to be amongst.

This is where you'll find walking trails amongst native bush and historic fortifications, there's even cafes and a very popular restaurant or two. Come for a walk, go swimming, have a picnic but be sure to enjoy your time here.

Chowder Bay got its name after those who made chowder (thick fishy soup) from the fishing and whaling industry of years gone by, when seafood was in abundance. Now marine life is still in abundance but most people usually view it from a divers perspective.
