If you are looking for a change of scenery this weekend, we highly recommend making the short 10 minute trip from Lane Cove Aquatic Centre to visit Greenwich Baths. Located at the tip of Greenwich Point, the Baths offer a unique swimming experience with some of the most spectacular harbour views in Sydney.
Whether you are looking to do some open water laps or simply want a relaxing day out with the family, the Baths provide a beautiful and calm environment. To make the most of your visit during the warmer weather, we have put together a guide to help you pack the essentials for a comfortable day by the water.
Your Beach Day Essentials
To stay safe and comfortable in the sun, we recommend bringing the following items:
- Sun Protection: Use SPF 50+ reef safe sunscreen. For the best protection, remember to reapply every 20 minutes, especially after swimming.
- Hydration: Bring an insulated water bottle to keep your water cold and stay refreshed throughout the afternoon.
- Sun Safety: A wide brimmed hat and quality sunglasses are a must to protect your face and eyes from UV rays and water glare.
- Footwear: Thongs or sandals are ideal for protecting your feet from hot surfaces and making it easy to brush off any sand before you head home.
- Comfort: Don’t forget a towel for drying off and relaxing on the beach area.
Helpful Extras
If you are planning to stay for the whole day, these "nice to have" items can make your visit even better:
- Shade: While there are shaded areas, bringing your own beach umbrella or a small shade tent is always a good idea on high heat days.
- Dry Bag: A small dry bag is a great way to keep your phone and keys safe from sand and water while you enjoy the harbour.
We can’t wait to see you there!
