Named for its shape rather than the grouchy cartilaginous buggers that lurk in its shallow waters, this island was traditionally used as an animal quarantine zone and a naval storage depot, but now its sole purpose is to offer great views of the harbour and both North and South Head. With large grassed areas, a wading beach, gazebo and tables, this is the perfect spot for a family picnic.
