Pittwater

Pittwater is a large tidal estuary and calm waterway on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, forming a scenic backdrop of bays, beaches and headlands that stretch from Church Point up toward Broken Bay. This drowned valley estuary gives way to a mix of sheltered coves, sailboats at anchor and crystal reflections that change with the light throughout the day.

The waterway is dotted with small settlements, marinas and foreshore parks, providing access for kayaking, fishing or simply watching the world drift by. The estuary is a focal point for sailing and boating in the region, with many crews navigating its sheltered arms and bays on calm mornings and breezy afternoons alike. 

Church Point Wharf and nearby jetty areas offer a charming entry point to Pittwater, where waterfront walks and bayside picnic spots meet the rhythm of incoming ferries and moored yachts. Scotland Island sits in the heart of the waterway, providing a peaceful island community and a unique vantage over the wide expanse of water.

Surrounded by natural bushland and framed by landmarks like Barrenjoey Head and the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park skyline, Pittwater blends relaxed seaside living with open water adventure. From sunrise over the bay to windswept afternoons, the landscape invites exploration across water, shore and headland.
