Bayview is an affluent suburb…Bayview is known as the quieter, older suburb of the Northern Beaches.
Bayview takes its name from a description of its location, providing a ‘’view’’ across ‘’Pittwater’’. Governor Arthur Phillip took a short journey of exploration from Manly to this area in March 1788 and named it Pittwater after William Pitt, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time.
Captain John Hunter prepared a map showing the bays and inlets in 1792.
