Beautiful beach, fantastic reward for a bit of a walk! Lovely rocks on the northern end, great for sitting and poking about. Note this beach has a big shelf, so the waves are intense. Wouldn't recommend doing too much swimming.

A stunning and secluded beach. The perfect place to stop, have a bite to eat and meditate on life. Not a place for swimming, the waves are ferocious and the beach is unprotected. But you will definitely take some gorgeous photos on and above the beach, and the views and relative seclusion are worth the 1- hour walk from Bundeena.

Great beach and refreshing after the 4.4km walk to get here. Long dip and play before we had to do the walk back.

Beautiful beach with clear water, sand dunes, cliffs, bushes all in one. Less crowded as it is not accessible by car. You can reach there only by hiking from nearby road closest is bundeena drive or walk along beach on a coastal walk track from bundeena. If you want to go there on your mountain bike then take Big Marley fire trail or little Marley firetrain. Be ready to walk with your bike and carry it sometimes as last few hundred meters are not suitable for bike ride. Unguarded beach, so swim at your own risk.
