A 'secret' beach popular with locals, it's well protected from large coastal swells making it perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Its golden sands are popular with families while the rock ledges to the north and south are well-known, but sometimes dangerous, fishing spots. Access to the secluded beach is via a steep timber staircase. Take Pine Avenue off Anzac Parade and there is parking on the street. A café is located in the Prince Henry Centre towards the top of the beach near the chapel. Public toilets and change rooms are located on the timber staircase about halfway down to the beach. The beach is not patrolled by Randwick City Lifeguards or Surf Lifesavers. Dogs, alcohol and glass bottles are not permitted on the beach area..
Very nice beach. Not super accessible via public transport though. Also come with bare minimum facilities (one toilet only)
Parking is a little tricky so get in early on hot summer days. Not suitable for prams or wheelchairs there's a lot of steps!

Living in Little Bay feels like a constant retreat. The area offers a perfect balance between coastal serenity and community warmth. The secluded beaches, especially Little Bay Beach, are ideal for peaceful strolls or a quiet day by the water, away from the crowds. The natural beauty of the cliffs and ocean views are breathtaking, and there's always a sense of calm that makes it easy to unwind. It's also close enough to the city for convenience but far enough to maintain its tranquil atmosphere. Little Bay is a true hidden paradise, and we're lucky to call it home.
