What people say
Amazing dog beach! My puppy absolutely loves it, and everyone there is friendly and welcoming to dogs. I’ve never had any issues. 🐶🌊
It's always super fun to go with the dog. I have a swim a few times as well, but I am not enterally sure the water is the best
My puppy goes here every other day instead of the big beach because she’s young and frisky and will want to say hi to everyone. Respect the place. Clean up after yourself and you have a little paradise to yourself for a long time.
late evening rock yoga here is deep in the last rays of the setting sun - to bookend the morning flow state at sobo rock shadow yoga in bondi - to cultivate the subtle energy and initiate the gathering of vital power that leads to the spontaneous or natural state of Sahajavasta
Beautiful views from this prime location. Unfortunately it is not easily reached as it is only serviced by public transport which would only get you there part of the way. The walk down the hill is ok; so long as it isn't rubbish bin day. The walk up the hill would be a bit of a challenge for non able-bodied individuals.
