This hideaway bay behind Watson's Bay on Sydney's East Coast has an impressive row of multi-millionaire tycoon bungalows that front the beach, but that doesn't mean it's off limits for the rest of us. This is a beautiful bay, it looks north across the Harbour to North Head. It is about the best vantage point you can secure to watch the yachts sail by in the famous (and very dangerous) Sydney to Hobart ocean yacht race that sets out on Boxing day (the Day after Christmas) every year.
Anyway, back to Camp Cove, the water is beautiful and clean here and lovely in - because Camp Cove is way out in the Harbour, very close the headlands. Deep clean ocean water also means bigger fish and bigger fish eaters! There are no shark nets at Camp Cove so it feels a bit 'funny' floating out in the deep water here. Still, it doesn't seem to worry the continuous line of divers who set off from here into the deep blue.
You can walk East from Camp Cove out to the very point of South Head of Sydney Harbour. There is a lovely old lighthouse out there and a few old building to look around. On the way there and back you pass by Sydney's infamous Lady Bay nude beach. I'm not sure of the appeal behind nude beaching, but somehow I think the bathers here like to be watched! If you're feeling prudish look up the other way into the military reserve. No nudists in there.
