This beach opens beautiful views, especially from the esplanade level. I have never swam there, so not sure if it is a suitable place for swimming, but for a picnic, or photo shooting it is amazing.

It’s a wonderful breeze from the cliff top and a view, today, that’s quite magical. Paddle boarding, scuba diving and swimming are all happening here in this gentlest of spots. The blues are many shades; exquisite and the sound of the ocean, from my grassy patch up top are quite soothing to the soul.

Cronulla is the closest local spot I've been to since I've been living here. Definitely away from the tourist. Beautiful walking path, which I find the perfect way to start your day by an early walk or even a late afternoon to evening time. Decided to walk down to the beach area, and it seemed very secluded. It's nice to be away from the bigger crowds.

Beautiful beach! Getting to the beach is adventurous, but it’s so nice and secluded. I recommend exploring the rockpools if you feel up to it! Highly recommend, and will definitely be back :-)

Beautiful and quiet beach! Perfect to spend a day if you are in Cronulla. Now a days there is not much sand like it used to have (big storm washed it away)
