Easy as to get to both sections of it parking was scarce but was hottest day in years so maybe affected but amazing beach awesome snorkel spot lots of rock spaces to sit and chill, was reasonably busy but definitely could see it getting a lot busier. Enjoyed it 9/10

great little hidden gem in between Clovelly and Coogee, connected by two long promenades, Gordon’s is dog and family friendly, although not easily accessible for the elderly, people with disabilities, pain or injury, because the long and steep stairs up to the bottom of another hill above. overall Gordon’s is a very good beach to visit on a good day.

Feels like a beach you'd discover on a Greek Island or Italian Riviera. Absolutely stunning in summer. Gets pretty busy. One of the best in the world

Not a people beach really, more for boats. My kids enjoyed clambering on the rocks but much nicer family beaches close by.

Cozy little bay with white sand and only very few visitors. Clear water, not so high waves so it's quite fitting with kids, especially because the beach is only about 80 meters wide so they can't get lost easily. Rocky area on the sides good for snorkeling, a bit further out there are usually some scuba divers, so if you're into it just go there and ask, they'll surely offer some trips.
