Very nice beach, we preferred this to Manly because it was more sheltered from the wind and the waves weren’t so intense. Also the people here were more relaxed, less posing than other beaches such as Bondi.

not really special but quite nice for walking around, I went here walking from Dee Why, I spent 3 hours before I continued to walk to Manly

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.

Great beach for family, the water is shallow and waves are not strong creating a perfect place for kids playing with surf boards. Parking is a challenge, typically you have to park far from the beach.

Really good beach then others. Stands out then other beaches at Sydney. Nice and cozy, waves were really good. Small beach but better then most of the big beaches.
