Cute little beach, but certainly not "Sydney's best" lol. Lovely long shallows so great spot for inexperienced swimmers. Be aware that if you come shortly after heavy rains there will be plenty of rubbish washed on shore. Did not see the little penguins but didn't search too hard either. Would come again mid week, not worth fighting the traffic on The Spit for this 😎 No dogs

My go to beach on a day off, a bit far from where I live bit still the best option for a chill day, never crowded usually something going on tho, its easy to meet new people on manly junp rock and it has various hights so progression is easy. If its not too cold, come in the evening on a weekday as you will have the beach to yourself and jumping from the cliffs into a cool ocean with the sun setting over the sydney skyline is an unbeatable feeling...

Like others have said, this beach is not crowded, is family friendly and lovely. You are having some privacy in a rather secluded area while still be able to enjoy a relaxing day while avoiding the crowd.

Great beach really peaceful with not a lot of people but getting there is not straightforward.
