Bare Island - , New South Wales

One of the best SCUBA sites Sydney has to offer. Easy access parking and great location for a day out. Parking can get a little crowded on a weekend when the weather is calm and sunny. Best to arrive early to ensure a parking spot

Great place to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery of the island and the ocean waves. Just be extra careful, as the wet rocks are quite slippery.

Unique landscape, with a bridge connecting the land and a small island, definite worth a visit, but not as phenomenal as how it is presented in some of the professionally done photos as shown on Google Maps, so better not to set too high expectations. It's a nice walk on the rocks but be very careful if not eating closed shoes with good grip. Always very windy so prepare for it, avoid on weekends and public holidays.

Amazing place to go and have great fun with friends and family! There have crystal water and colorful rocks! Few delicious restaurants in this area, so easy for everyone has choices ! Plenty of parking space!

Great island for an explore. Be extra cautious in strong swells as the waves may crash over the rocks depending on the tide.
At the end of the bridge there are stairs to the left that allow easy access to the rock base that surrounds the island.
Take your time to explore the rock pools and the beautiful painted cliffs.
The island is perfect for a lazy afternoon and watching the sun set in clear conditions!

Great place with many nice views and walks. There are a plenty of great places for taking pictures. The walk around the island is also a nice experience.

They do 3 tours on Sundays for the Fort
1:30, 2:30 and 3:30

The only pain here is that the place is very busy on weekends and it's hard to find parking.

Was recommended to visit this place for killer sunset view and I was not disappointed. Truly beautiful and recommended for those sunset chasers! After visiting this place, you definitely wish to visit again for the same view

Amazing place to dive! I’ve freedived here a couple
of times but recently have taken up scuba which allowed me to explore a lot more

Heaps of fish and things to see underwater!

My advice would be...don’t go at the weekend unless you’re getting there early to get a space. If you’re a diver you’ll find that everyone parked there early along with you are also diving which is a good vibe! I kid you not, give or take 1-2 hours late morning the place is packed, there’s traffic of cars queuing stretching all the way back to the industrial estate...madness. Unfortunately theres no “fix” for this as there’s a lots of car parking which only encourages more people to go there. Hence why it’s not 5 stars overall (but it is 5 star diving!)
