Sydney Harbour National Park

16 Best Parks in Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler

"Wildly beautiful, Sydney Harbour National Park protects the islands and foreshore around the famous harbour, including some of the most breathtaking beaches, bushland, and coastal trails in the world. From swimming spots to walking tracks and pretty picnic areas, its 970 acres encompass a huge range of activities and locations, guaranteed to leave you high-fiving. With such a vast park, you’ll need to target one area—say, the harbor’s North Head, Middle Head, or South Head, and then focus in on a beach, walk, lookout, or activity you fancy. Watch out for regular festivals, too, such as Sydney’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks, which light up the harbor." - Sophie Davies
