The Gap is one of Sydney’s most photographed clifftops, and it doubles as a solid, easy-access whale-watching spot — the fenced lookout sits high above open water with an unobstructed view north and east, right in the middle of the historic Watsons Bay village.
What to Expect
- Fenced clifftop lookout, safe and easy to access
- Free street parking (can fill up on weekends) and a short walk from the village
- Cafes, a pub and fish-and-chip shops in Watsons Bay if you want to make a day of it
- Public bus and ferry access from the city
Because it’s so central and well-serviced, The Gap is a good choice if you want whale watching combined with an easy family outing rather than a bushwalk.
Location
Cliff St, Watsons Bay NSW 2030.
