Dog rules

Dogs must be on a leash in all public places unless in a designated off-leash area. Keep your dog in sight at all times. Pick up and dispose of all waste correctly. Do not let your dog rush at or harass other dogs and people. Source: Hornsby Shire Council – Off-leash dog areas (hornsby.nsw.gov.au).

Secluded beach with nice sand, good for a picnic, few Goannas around who might invite themselves when they smell your food. Gets a bit busy from around 11am, no toilets.

Excellent kayak landing place as nicely sloped sandy beach. Many people were swimming there too. No toilets and I doubt there is road access. Shady spots on level rocks make an excellent place for enjoying a thermos and sandwiches.

Flat quiet beach with a creek that drains into one end. No facilities, decent sand aside from the weed and jellyfish.
