Escape the crowds at Sydney’s popular beaches, and visit Ettalong, Umina and Pearl Beach on the Central Coast instead.
Facing Brisbane Water and Broken Bay, these three family-friendly beach suburbs are great for swimming and other water-based activities.
Milk Beach is a tiny, secluded strip of sand right in front of the historic Strickland House in Vaucluse, facing the Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.
If you’re keen to avoid the big crowds in Bondi, Coogee or Manly, try Milk Beach for a quiet lazy afternoon in the sun.
Whale Beach is a picturesque, 600 metres long strip of sand in the Northern Beaches region, just south of Palm Beach.
Not as well known as its bigger neighbour, Whale Beach is therefore usually much quieter, with a pleasantly secluded atmosphere.
Chinamans Beach is a hidden treasure in Sydney’s Middle Harbour. Compared to its bigger neighbour Balmoral Beach further south, Chinamans Beach usually attracts a smaller crowd.
Rosherville Reserve, located just behind the beach, is a large green area, perfect for an afternoon picnic or a barbecue.
Reef Beach at Dobroyd Head in Sydney’s North Harbour is a secluded strip of sand, with scenic views of the Harbour and Manly Cove on the opposite side.
Let’s find out more about this scenic beach that many don’t know about!
