Walsh Bay

Walsh Bay is a bay located within Port Jackson, towards the south of the suburb of McMahons Point.

The bay earned its name from one Henry Dean Walsh who once worked with the Sydney Harbour Trust. Officially, the bay defines the waters that stretch from Dawes Point to Millers Point.

In recent years, however, Walsh Bay has been used to describe the harbour-side region that lies near Dawes Point and Millers Point. This precinct’s history indicates that it was once a working port. Today, these wharves have been converted to create a bustling precinct that features cafes, restaurants, expensive apartments and theatres for just about everything you would need for a perfect retreat.

This cultural hub offers an unforgettable experience. The easiest way to get to Walsh Bay is to walk along the foreshore that leads away from the rocks before passing under the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.
