McMahons Point

McMahons Point is an exclusive harbour-side beach located on the lower North Shore in Sydney, three kilometres from the CBD.

The suburb is within the local government area of North Sydney Council and sits on the peninsula where Lavender and Berrys Bays border it.

The beach was once home to a big chunk of the city’s working-class but is today one of Sydney’s most prestigious addresses. Part of the reason for this is the suburb’s safety, easy access to transport networks, and magnificent views of the city’s skyline.

The suburb is named after Michael McMahon, a prominent businessman in its heyday. Michael is also credited with having constructed the McMahon family residence on the headland. It is important to note that the Cammeraygal community occupied the land initially, that is before European settlers arrived.

This urban village is a gem waiting to be explored. One of its amazing aspects is its vibrant food scene. Tucked away among the green spaces, McMahons Point does not disappoint if its lively restaurants are anything to go by. They offer everything you can think of—from classic fires and pizza to fine dining.

Take on one of Spain’s most famous exports, the amazing tapas at Delicado or indulge in traditional Thai foods at Thai House. Blu Ginger is open for you to enjoy contemporary Indian cuisine, or you could treat the kids to fresh homemade pizzas at the iconic Blues Point Gourmet Pizza. Piato’s is worth checking out for anyone who appreciates a great European menu.

Away from the food, McMahons Point also has excellent natural spots. Explore the Blues Point Reserve, best known for its incredible Harbour viewpoints. A kid’s playground is available on-site, too. Alternatively, visit Sawmillers Reserve, where you will marvel at a real-life shipwreck – with its rusty metal being a testament to the years gone by.

For its spectacular sights, marvellous views and great food, McMahons Point is a fabulous place to kick back and unwind.
