Little Shoppers

Boutique shopping in Double Bay – tire kids out at the harbour playground or jump on a ferry for a return trip to Watsons Bay. Then pop them in the pram, grab an ice cream and stroll the wide, flat footpaths.

Double Bay hosts Organic Food Markets every Thursday, with kids’ entertainment, including pony rides.

Teen Shoppers

Harbourside Birkenhead Point, in Drummoyne, has plenty of outdoor spaces, eateries, and an EB Games. Outlets for Asics and Nike have good deals on sports shoes.
