Why it's worth checking out
Watermans Cove sits at Barangaroo, on Sydney Harbour's revitalised western foreshore near Darling Harbour. A near-perfect 4.8 rating from 44 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a beautiful modern waterfront setting — a lovely cove and public space at Barangaroo with harbour views, steps to the water and the buzz of the precinct's dining and promenade, a genuine favourite for a stroll, a sit by the water or soaking up the harbour. It's a lovely, free outing.
Waterfront spaces have changing conditions and seasonal facilities, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, family-friendly spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your camera.
