Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of a good Jetty around the sydney area?

I am looking for one (preferably quite long) which is NOT surrounded by boats and might have a clean background (just water and the far shore if possible). We went for a drive around pittwater today but there are just sooooo many boats :shock:

Anyone :?:

Cheers.
:D

Catherine Hill Bay just south of Newcastle have their old jetty that used to be used by coal loaders. It also has a nice pub to relieve the thirst after a heavy day of shooting :cheers:

There are a few around Lake Macquarie but you would have to define what you consider long. Places like Belmont/Green Point/Marks Point spring to mind. The jetties at those locations are probably between 15-30m

Thanks for the replies guys...

I'll try and check out those ones you mentioned. I was hoping for one a little closer to home but a weekend up to Newcastle could be ok.

Cheers.

Nope...the beach side of the lakes...where the lake meets the ocean..Narrabeen Pde is the closest st and there's a carpark with a very short/easy walk to the pool. This isn't really a 'jetty' but a boardwalk. Hope this helps.

Go to google maps and have a look:

Hope this helps!
