Washaway Beach

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.

You need to visit the beach prior to 2pm as you will miss the sun coming down on the opposing side, that’s if your there for the beach experience. It will take you approximately 10-15mins to walk to the beach from your car, the cliff edge to climb down is not suited for those with height issues or are not mobile enough to climb up or down. Great panoramic views reaching across from Manly to Balmoral.

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.
