Scotland Island and Salvation Creek

The ferries depart from Church Point hourly on the half hour to take commuters and tourists to Scotland Island and the Western Foreshore. It has four stops on Scotland Island which feels like your own piece of paradise, and also goes to Morning Bay (previously Towlers Bay), Lovett Bay, made famous by Susan Duncans' books Salvation Creek and The House.

You can bush walk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, arriving in the National Park via ferry. Stop along Pittwater's Western Foreshore at either Elvina Bay: see Aboriginal carvings at the top - don't miss the shark, or go and walk up over Morning Bay for magnificent water views (formerly Towlers Bay).
