Sunshine, NSW
Sunshine is a tiny suburb near the eastern tip of the Morisset Peninsula on Lake Macquarie, reached through Balcolyn or Silverwater.
Known For
- A small lakefront reserve
- Water views in two directions
- One of the quietest corners of the lake
A few dozen houses, a reserve and a jetty make up the whole place. It is included here for completeness. Come for a quiet hour by the water and nothing more.
Things To Do in Sunshine
The reserve on the shore has a small beach, a jetty and shade. It is good for a swim, a paddle or a line in the water. The larger reserve and boat ramp at Shingle Splitters Point in Balcolyn are a couple of minutes away.
