Dog rules
–Northern Beaches Council's "Dogs and Dog Off-leash Areas" page states: "When talking your dog for a walk place them on-leash before leaving home and ensure they are under your effective control." The page lists Council's designated off-leash areas. This park is not on Northern Beaches Council's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

Nice walking track with some steps along the way. It is about 20-30 minutes easy walk with parts of that in the bushes and part with nice ocean views. There is paid parking and facilities at both ends. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

Love it - one of our fave beaches, the kids love it. The surf was beautiful today, there is also a beach pool. Little cafe opposite the parking and toilets/showers available. It's a nice little beach tucked away.

Beautiful walking track along the coast. Lots of birds in the bushland and quite shady in sections. Great spot for a picnic if you carry it in.
