Empire Marina Bobbin Head

Highlight • Harbor

Empire Marina Bobbin Head sits within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and is the gateway to the waterways of Cowan Creek, Broken Bay, and the Hawkesbury River. It’s also the site of the historic Halvorsen boatshed, once home to the family’s famous hire fleet from the 1950s. Today it offers berths, moorings, and boat hire, and is a popular stop for boaties, walkers, and cyclists. Right on the water is Waterside Bistro, which serves casual breakfast and lunch fare seven days a week, making this a relaxed spot to stop in whether on foot or by bike.
