The eastern suburbs are “gorgeous”, and the southern and western suburbs are “aspirational”, then the North Shore is best described as “satisfied”. For many Sydneysiders the North Shore is not only geographical shorthand for the suburbs north of the harbour, it’s equally a state of mind. One that is respectable, well-off and content. From Hunters Hill in the west to Manly in the east, and all points north to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the North Shore is bourgeois to the back teeth. Here you’ll find some glorious pockets of remnant bushland nestled around the harbour, stunning ocean beaches, quiet harbourside beaches, and plenty of options for those who love the great outdoors, including walking, cycling, kayaking, surfing, diving, sailing and parasailing. And then there are always some of Sydney’s perennial favourites to tempt you: Luna Park, Nutcote, Taronga Park Zoo, Bradleys Head, Oceanworld and North Head.
Mosman’s Military Road contains the best shops for picnic supplies, gifts, cheese, chocolates, seafood and more.
