The best barbecue spots in Sydney

The barbies at Blackwattle Bay are brand spanking new. Enjoy views of the ANZAC Bridge while you sizzle.

Beachside barbecuing followed by a large-scale backyard cricket session is a perfect proposition whatever the season.

This is one of the city's most popular barbecue locations, and luckily its 360-hectare expanse means that even the biggest crowd can be accommodated for a relaxing parkland lunch. There are six barbecues dotted throughout the park.

Just past the Manly Beach crowds is a smaller, more scenic beach with six barbecues and a great north-facing view.

Within this expansive national park you'll find over 25 individual picnic areas, meaning you'll never be short of a new place to sizzle your sausages. The Lane Cove River runs straight through the middle so if eating in a canoe or pedal boat is your thing, you'll think you've found chargrilled heaven on earth. 

This much-loved camping destination is great for a day trip and offers well-maintained gas, electric and wood-fired barbecues in beautiful national park surrounds.
