What people say
An amazing tranquil beach! It’s definitely not the easiest to get to with approximately 6 minute bush walk followed by a fairly steep climb down to the beach, but well worth it if you can do it! I’m pretty fit and agile, so I’m not 100% sure how those less agile got onto the beach. There’s no toilets, no change rooms, no facilities, no lifeguards. It’s just pure nature! This is also a clothing optional beach!
Amazing beach if you can make the trek down here. Just note it is a clothing optional beach!
One of the best beaches in Sydney.
The beach in the area Dobroyd Head, turn in after Aboriginal Rock Engravings and follow the path on maps. The path to get to the beach is very rocky and can be dangerous (wasn’t able to go down). You can enjoy nice view from the cliff. Ps: the grotto point lighthouse is not worth the walk, better go back to main track after the Washaway Beach.
Pretty big beach with lots of room to roam and a huge cave to protect you from the rain and sun!! It's an "unofficial" nude beach which is even better. Definently only for capable walkers, the track down is a bit rough and to get on the beach you have to climb down the cliff face which is safe but a bit steep. Remember to take all your rubbish with you, we dont want our beautiful beaches ruined or sea life polluted and dead.
