The La Perouse peninsula is the northern headland of Botany Bay. It is notable for its old military outpost at Bare Island and the Kamay Botany Bay National Park. Congwong Bay Beach, Little Congwong Beach, and the beach at Frenchmans Bay provide protected swimming areas in Botany Bay. Gorgeous and historic part of Sydney. It’s where captain cook sailed in to discover Australia. Easy to get to by car it’s off the tourist circuit.
