Oatley Bay




Oatley Bay is between Connells Point and Oatley and is the sixth bay from the mouth of the river on the northern side. Other bays from the mouth are Sandringham, Kogarah, Shipwright's, Kyle and Connell's.

Oatley Bay was much longer before World War 11 but then it was gradually filled in to form parklands and a wetland area to cleanse stormwater prior to entering the Georges River. Back in the early 1950's the upper reaches of the bay provided great spots for children to play and to camp in the caves which existed along its western shore.

There is a boat ramp, jetty and pontoon at the end of the bay providing easy access to the Georges River for pleasurecraft and a popular fishing spot. Many modern homes are built along the bay and a number have their own jetties. A number of boats are moored in the bay.
