Best place for Sea Raptor photography, Paragliding and generally enjoying the views. Well maintained paths. 12P ticketed parking. Toilets available next to car park and near Tennis Courts on Anzac avenue. Dogs not allowed on the beach area as it's a reserve for migratory and resident birds.

Great views and peaceful place to sit and watch the surf rolling in. Sandy beach with rocks at the waterfront. Nice atmosphere and friendly approachable locals. The carpark says no camping. No public toilets that I can see. #coddiwompleicp

Sat down on a bench and from a distance appeared to be a really nice spot. But then I went for a walk up to the tip of the south head. This is supposed to be an aquatic reserve and all I saw was dead fish and broken crab claws. Then on the way back I saw a spear fisherman going into the water and got barked at by an off leish dog. Very sad. Whale beach is much nicer.
