At just over four kilometres, the Harbourwalk is one of the world’s longest continuous boardwalks. With non-stop scenic water views, fascinating port activity, and plenty of opportunities to settle on a bench or hammock or slip into a café or museum, the Harbourwalk could easily entertain you for a day or a weekend! From here, you can also join a harbour tour, go whale watching, or head to McNabs Island.
