Point Piper

Leafy harbour streets with McKell Park's waterfront green at the point. Quiet, scenic and made for a slow foreshore stroll.

Harbour beaches, Nielsen Park and leafy clifftop streets at the city's polished eastern tip. Coastal, calm and made for a swim-and-stroll kind of day.

Boutiques, brunch and a harbour edge at Steyne Park, where the off-leash set holds court. Polished, pricey and very happy to see a well-groomed dog.

Leafy, lofty and quietly grand, with Cooper Park's bushland gully and off-leash trails tucked below the big homes. Harbour glimpses up top, room to roam down low.

Queen Street antiques, boutique storefronts and leafy terrace streets on Centennial Park's edge. The east at its most polished, made for a window-shop wander with a well-bred dog.

City-close and leafy-edged, with harbour glimpses and parks nearby. Walkable, handy and good for a quick lap.

Sandstone terraces, boutique-lined Oxford Street and the leafy hush of Five Ways. Paddo does fashion and Sunday strolls in equal measure — bring a well-dressed dog.

Harbour beach, clifftop Gap walks and ferry-stop calm at the headland's tip. Scenic, breezy and made for a sea-air wander.

Seaplanes overhead, harbour at your feet and Lyne Park for the foreshore amble. The east at its most relaxed — polished, breezy and good with dogs.
