Located at 35/50R Endeavour Avenue, La Perouse, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 A really beautiful spot, we always come on a weekday but I imagine it would be very crowded on weekends. The beach is fantastic, beautiful to swim in and good showers to wash yourself off from sand. There’s a very good children’s playground 🛝 area and a BBQ along with a couple of tables to sit at. There’s also an exercise equipment area just past the toilets. There’s also the Boat Shed Restaurant along with Boat Shed to Go for takeaway. A little pricey though. Access to the beach is great. There’s street parking 🅿️ but it can fill quickly, even on a weekday. The walk to the new wharf is wonderful, the wharf itself is fantastic. I am looking forward to the ferries starting. A lot of people were fishing 🎣 off the wharf today, apparently it’s very popular for that. Also the walk up to Bare Island is pretty. The views are amazing. Overall it’s a really lovely spot and would definitely recommend visiting. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

Beautiful spot. Better on weekdays as more quiet. Can swim too.

Nice place for a walk. There is a museum, cafe and several restaurants. There is also a playground. It’s a good place to visit with children or for a date. The restaurants around the area offer a sea view. You need to bring your swimsuits!
