Nielsen Park
Sydney serves up some of its best outdoor offerings at Nielsen Park,
located at Vaucluse in Sydney's eastern suburbs. Blessed with the glistening
Shark Beach and glorious harbour views, Nielsen Park is one of Sydney's
favourite year-round recreation areas.
It's also one of the most picturesque places for a picnic, boasting
three large, sheltered picnic areas. Relax on the grass and enjoy your lunch
beneath a shady fig tree. Stroll along the scenic foreshore walking track or
explore the area by kayak.
Stay overnight at Steele Point Cottage and in the morning the kids can
swim and build sandcastles while you relax with a coffee at the Nielsen Park
Cafe before setting out to explore Bottle and Glass Point.
Redleaf Beach
Situated in the beautiful Double Bay precinct, Redleaf Beach is another
of those idyllic Sydney harbourside beaches you just want to visit.
Murray Rose Pool (formerly Redleaf Pool), can be found at the western
end of the beach and provides swimmers with a safe harbourside tidal enclosure
to swim in. With a swimming area of approximately 90 metres x 60 metres, even
on a busy day there is no shortage of swimming space.
There is a wrap-around pontoon which makes for a lovely walk and if
you're feeling peckish, the cafe' on the hill provides delicious meals and
fantastic views looking out to Darling Point and the Harbour Bridge.
Milk Beach
Situated at the base of Hermit Bay within the Sydney Harbour National
Park, Milk Beach is a small isolated beach surrounded by the Heritage listed
Strickland House. Offering a breathtaking view of Sydney, Milk Beach is one of Sydney's
Eastern Suburbs well-kept secrets.
Access to Milk Beach is limited, however, it can be accessed via Public
Transport, boat or limited off-street parking is available. There is plenty to do when visiting Milk Beach, from fishing and
snorkeling, to family picnics under the awning or a walk along the Hermitage
Foreshore.
Shelly Beach
Shelly Beach is located in Manly and forms part of Cabbage Tree Bay, a
protected marine reserve which lies adjacent to North Head and Fairy Bower.
With a maximum depth of approximately 12 metres, Shelly Beach has become
popular with Scuba Divers and Snorkelers alike with a large variety of marine
life which can viewed in relatively shallow water.
Take a walk around the bush track which hugs the headland offering
spectacular views of North Head and the Northern Beaches. Shelly Beach has
showers, toilets and a kiosk along with two free electic barbeques, perfect for
that family picnic. For a more formal dining option, there is a restaurant on
the beach named Le Kiosk.
Chinamans Beach
This 250 metre stretch of sand is at the northern perimeter of Mosman,
one of Sydney’s most genteel residential enclaves. Chinaman’s Beach is well
inside Middle Harbour so there’s nary a wave to be seen, making it a great
place for a relaxed swim, picnic and a splash about for the kids.
The better known and much busier Balmoral Beach is a one kilometre walk
around the rocks to the south, so a visit to both is easily done on the same
day. The bay in front of the beach, known as Shell Cove, is a popular spot for
yachties to pull in and throw an anchor over before diving in for a swim.
Jibbon Beach
Jibbon Beach lies 500 m inside Port Hacking Point the southern entrance
to the port. The beach is 700 m long and curves to the east to finally face
northwest in its eastern corner. Waves average 0.5 m at the western end where
they and surge up a steep, cusped reflective beach, decreasing in height to the
east. This is a protected north-facing beach and is the southernmost location
on the east coast of the tropical beach sand creeper Ipomoea, a leafy vine with
a brilliant purple flower, attesting to its sheltered sun-drenched location.
The beach is backed by a low well-vegetated single foredune, then Jibbon
Lagoon. It can be accessed via Bundeena, with limited street parking at the
western end. During summer and on weekends many people come by boat and anchor
off the more sheltered eastern end the beach.
