The Gap

  The Gap sits at the southern head of Sydney Harbour, nestled within the scenic Watsons Bay neighborhood. This dramatic cliff, rising 100 meters above the sea, has been a notable lookout since the early 19th century, serving as a guiding point for sailors navigating the harbor. Visitors can explore the area via a walking trail that offers impressive views of the ocean and the famous Hornsby Lighthouse, with opportunities for spotting various marine life along the way. During whale migration season, particularly from May to November, many flock here for the chance to witness these majestic creatures off the coast. The Gap is not only a popular spot for photography but also offers picnic areas and easy access to the beach below, making it a versatile destination for both relaxation and exploration.
