The smell is quite strong here. Easy to find parking, not too crowded, pretty relaxing and chill.

One of the best beaches in the Illawarra. Easy nearby parking, many options for cafes and restaurants. Year round life savers operating. Waves are good, views of the coastline are great. Can get busy in the summertime on weekends but understandable as this is one of the best beaches to visit in the area!

I love taking my daughter to walk on the beach and then choose one of the many restaurants and cafes for lunch or dinner.

It reminds me when I was living in GC. The beach is so clean, the sand is fine, and there are all kinds of facilities available. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby, and can even rent electric scooters! It's perfect for a vacation! Will definitely come back next time!

Quite a nice and relaxing beach! Very beautiful in the day and calming in the night! Here has a jogging trail as well.
