This beach in Coledale is a great spot for a day out. There are BBQ areas and tables available for visitors. However, parking can be limited as it is also a camping reserve, so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot.

The beach is well-maintained and perfect for picnics and leisurely walks. There is also a designated camping area available for a fee. The beach itself is stunning, and there is a newly paved walkway for strolling. Don't forget to check out the beautiful Banksias nearby! 😃👍

The beach has a designated camping area and is known for being clean and less crowded than other beaches near Sydney. It is a patrolled beach, so always swim between the flags.

The beach is really nice and offers a fun exploration with its unique topography of high cliffs and flat rocks along the base. It is conveniently located near the Coledale Rock Pool. There is a lot of seaweed and seagulls present. The beach also has BBQ and toilet facilities, as well as a SLSC. Unfortunately, we did come across some litter during our walk.
