Catch the Church Point Ferry and see beautiful Scotland Island and Pittwater's magnificent Western Foreshore. Ferries depart from Church Point hourly on the half hour carrying commuters and tourists to these destinations.

The ferry run has four stops on Scotland Island, which feels like your own piece of paradise. It also stops at Morning Bay (previously Towlers Bay), Lovett Bay, made famous by Susan Duncan's books “Salvation Creek" and “The House,” and Elvina Bay.  

The ferries also operate a school run to Newport School for Primary school aged children. There is a newspaper run in the morning, and a mail run in the afternoon.

Ferry history

The Church Point Ferry Service has been in operation since the 1940s, when it was part of the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company. In 1951 it was believed to have been bought by E.H. Caldwell and began trading under its existing name. It is not only an historic service, but also very much part of this unique and special community.

This year the ferry service  opened a new chapter. See our new, custom-built ferry for southern Pittwater.
