Family Time at The Cabbage Tree Bay

Why Cabbage Tree Bay?

First off, the waters are so clear and shallow you might just be tempted to think you’ve accidentally strolled into a tropical resort. But nope—you’re still in Sydney, and it’s all real! The bay is perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving, even for beginners (or those of us who like to pretend we know what we’re doing). Beneath the surface, you’ll find some of the ocean’s coolest locals: from the quirky Gloomy Octopus (yes, that’s its actual name—what a vibe) to the elegant Sea Dragon, and, if you’re really lucky, you might spot the famous Blue Groper, who will swim by as if it’s the mayor of the bay. 🐟

Kid-Friendly Fun

But wait, there’s more! The beach has soft, golden sand perfect for the kiddos to let loose and build sandcastles, bury each other, or invent some new sand-based sport. If your little ones are the adventurous type, there are plenty of rocks to climb and tide pools to explore, making sure they’re exhausted by the time you head home (win!).

And because no beach day is complete without snacks, Cabbage Tree Bay delivers with Le Kiosk Cafe—the iconic beachfront spot where you can treat yourself to a flat white while pretending you’re in a luxury beach club. Don’t forget to order a babycino for your mini-me so they feel just as fancy as mum and dad. ☕️

Views, Views, and More Views

Once you’re fuelled up, take a stroll down Marine Parade, where you’ll be greeted by some of Sydney’s best views—and that’s not even an exaggeration. Along the walk, you’ll come across a hidden gem of a rock pool, perfectly Instagram-worthy, complete with two sculptures that seem to guard the area (don’t worry, they don’t charge admission).

Pram-Friendly Perks

And if you’re thinking, “But what about the pram?”—we’ve got you covered. The entire walk is pram-friendly, so no awkward lifting, sweating, or sideways shuffling required. This is one of those rare Sydney spots where the whole family can enjoy the day without any meltdowns (well, fewer meltdowns, we can’t promise miracles).

So, whether you’re hunting for marine life, building sandcastles, or just soaking up the sunshine with a coffee in hand, Cabbage Tree Bay has something for everyone. Just don’t forget to bring your hat and plenty of sunscreen—Sydney’s sun doesn’t mess around, and no one wants to go home looking like a lobster. 🦞
