The Woolooware Bay is a bay on the lower estuarine Georges Riverinsouthern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The bay is located near where the Georges River empties into Botany Bay, southeast of the Captain Cook Bridge. The bay's catchment area is bound by Botany Bay to the north, Bate Bay sub-catchment to the east, Gwawley Bay sub-catchment to the west and Port Hacking sub-catchment to the south.[2] The bay is surrounded by the suburbsofKurnell to the east, Woolooware[3] to the south, and Taren Point and Caringbah to the west of the bay's shore.[4] Mangrove swamps were traditionally located around the bay area.
