Stunning beach located within a National Park. The northern end features fascinating Fish Traps! Absolutely incredible.

I've visited this place three times, and each time I saw large sharks very close to the shore. The strong rips and closeout surf make it terrible for surfing. Additionally, my car was broken into on two out of the three visits. I strongly recommend avoiding this location. There are much better spots for surfing elsewhere. The beach also had snakes, making it a poor choice for sunbathing.

A stunning, pristine beach with ample space extending along the coastline. Occasionally, there might be some seaweed near the shore, but it's hard to complain when the beaches are crowded only during holidays (and empty the rest of the year) and consistently free of litter.

A wonderful walk along another stunning section of the NSW coastline. It's somewhat off the beaten path, so it tends to be less crowded. However, there's limited shade, making it potentially quite hot during the summer months unless you bring plenty of water and take measures to shield yourself from the sun. Enjoy!
