In the early days of the colony of New South Wales, it was sometimes known as Stonequarry Cove and Stone Quarry Creek. This may have been because there was once a nearby quarry in Five Dock.
Much of the land around the bay is publicly accessible foreshore or parkland. The bay is a popular location for rowing regattas.
