About

For a great day of water-based fun for all the family, pack the car and make your way to Bonnie Vale picnic area. The kids will love swimming and liloing in the tranquil waters of Cabbage Tree Basin.

For more adventure, hire a kayak, a canoe, or stand-up paddleboard from Bundeena Kayaks and paddle the beautiful waterways of Port Hacking, near Bundeena. There's also great fishing if you take a walk over to nearby Jibbon Beach.

After all that activity, relax at the picnic tables under the trees and cook up some lunch on the gas barbecues.

If you'd prefer to take public transport, the ferry from Cronulla to Bundeena is an attraction in it's own right and one of the nicest ways to get out on the water. Located just over an hour from the centre of Sydney, Bonnie Vale picnic area will make you feel like you're a world away from the busy city.
