It depends on whether the local council has closed the boat ramp. What a joke, state government says you can use the water responsibly, but local government can stop you from accessing it.

**EDIT**
Seems boat ramps are open in Bayside Council area, but the beaches and beach-side car parks are all closed. Wonder if you can park at the end of Bestic Street or not, and would they ping you for carrying your gear across the beach to get to the water?

i reckon going out solo sailing searching for clean air would be exercise activity number one

Seems strange as you can sail single handed boats (windsurfers) on Sydney harbour...Why close Botany, which is basically deserted?

There were a few out yesterday. The kyeemagh car park is still closed but the beaches were open & it's easy enough to park on grand parade near bestic street & use the beach access ramp.
