What people say
Very calm and nice place to see the most attractive sunset in Sydney. Free parking spots all around the area.
Beautiful beach. Perfect place to bring your tourist friends, set up a BBQ and boom box and play loud music.
Not really a beach so much as a tiny strip of sand between some expensive looking houses/yacht club and the marina. The sand was only a few feet in width, but the views over the water were pretty. I wouldn’t make a trip out here just to see this beach, but it could be a relaxing place to rest if you’re in the neighborhood. Also, FYI, there were signs warning of the sting rays in the water, so be careful if you decide to slash about.
Sand is beautiful, and the view is lovely but at medium to high tide this beach is very narrow with the sea walls of the private gardens greatly ruining its atmosphere. It was quiet though.
Visited the beach on a weekday evening to view the sunset. Not as big as some of the other beaches in Sydney but that's what makes this beach stand out. The view was spectacular. The ambience was also wonderful as no one else was around. One point of discontent is that there is no signage along Wolseley road indicating that the stairs and the passageway leads to the beach. People may hesitate to walk through on the thought that they could be trespassing private property.
