A little hidden gem in Neutral Bay, the beach is a tranquil place to relax and be with your thoughts. Doesn't get crowded on the weekends. The water is great and the beach is pristine, it's kid-friendly too. Grab a coffee from the corner shop, head down the stairs and enjoy the stunning view of the Sydney Harbour most people don't get to see.

A lovely litte harbour beach near the Neutral Bay ferry. Looks clean, but there is a warning sign that's its not, and not to swim there. Other than that is really quite beautiful.

Its a very small beach. Not the cleanest but certainly swimmable Not exactly the place you go to for a beach day out. Ideal if you want to be close to Neutral bay and for a brief time

Neutral Bay Beach or Hayes Street Beach as it is also known is the only beach in the suburb of Neutral Bay on the Lower North Shore in Sydney. It can be accessed from Hayes Street via a small laneway near the news-agency. The beach itself is 50m long at low tide with a width of 10m , cute little beach

Lovely secluded beach. It’s only a small strip of sand but very quiet, good views, clear water. There’s a nice cafe next to the ferry which is only a short walk from the beach.
