Watsons Bay or Kutti, lies on the South Head peninsula and is one of Sydney's most prestigious eastern suburbs. The area is famous for its seafood, waterfront pubs, picnic spots, swimming beaches and spectacular headlands walks overlooking the Harbour and the Pacific Ocean. Its roads can also be some of the most congested in Sydney. The most relaxing way to travel to and from Watsons Bay is on a rocket ferry.
