The beach offers stunning views, particularly from the esplanade. Although I haven't gone swimming there, I can't say for certain if it's a suitable spot for swimming. However, it's absolutely fantastic for picnics or photo shoots.

The beach is absolutely stunning! It may be a bit of an adventure to reach, but once you're there, it's wonderfully peaceful and secluded. If you're feeling up to it, I highly suggest checking out the rockpools. I had a fantastic time and will definitely return in the future!

The beach is absolutely stunning and peaceful! It's the ideal spot to spend a day if you happen to be in Cronulla. However, nowadays there isn't as much sand as there used to be due to a powerful storm that washed it away.

The breeze from the cliff top is absolutely delightful, and the view today is truly enchanting. People are enjoying paddle boarding, scuba diving, and swimming in this peaceful location. The various shades of blue in the water are absolutely stunning, and the sound of the ocean from my spot on the grassy area above is incredibly soothing to the soul.
