After lunch we walked around Watson's Bay for a bit. It's a five minute walk to the Pacific Ocean side, from where you can get good views of the North Head, the other part of the entrance to the Harbor, where Manly is. There's a big navy base on Watson's Bay which puts alot of Watson's Bay off limits, but there's a nude gay beach on the harbour side on the way back to the ferry if that's your cup of tea.











Watson's Bay sits on the narrow strip of land separating the Harbour from the Pacific Ocean. Doyle's is a very famous tourist trap sitting at the beach, waiting to catch tourists as they get off the ferry. It's been around for about eighty years, and has now spread to four or five different buildings, all serving the same very average seafood. But the views are great, looking all the way back to the Sydney skyline, and it's a great place to linger outdoors over some wine and oysters. But the cooked food tends to get rubbery and tasteless, so remember fresher is better. And don't be in a hurry, as service is really slow. (Food-9, Decor-12, Service-8).
