Beautiful location, clear and clean water. Can get busy with Surf club and competitions on weekends and limited parking.

Hugo is now a Northern Beaches local and as he’s not allowed on the beach he enjoys playing in the walkway leading to the beach. 💚🩵🏖️

A small, tiny beach, but astonishingly beautiful. a great place to walk, talk, swim, enjoy family and group gatherings. one of many beautiful beaches in Sydney north east.

nice and calm atmosphere, easy to just park the car and go to the beach for a swim or walk in no time.. good for children too as it has a playing area if you want to keep them occupied
