Mackenzie's Bay 'Pop-up Beach'

By: Claudia MacPhail

Normally this rocky inlet is nothing more than a nice view between Bondi and Tamarama Beach, however as of recently, the mysterious Mackenzie Bay has suddenly become a beach.
According to locals, this little slice of heaven appears every seven years and it is unknown when it will disappear again. Lifeguards say the small swell results in  a build up of sand, which is what creates the "beach".


The usual consistent surf means its popular with bodyboarders but not safe for swimmers. This beautiful picture-perfect spot has arrived just in time for Summer but it could be gone tomorrow, so go enjoy and make the most of this rare natural miracle.



The beach is one of the few areas that is dog friendly because it is unpatrolled.
Sculptures by the sea starts again October 20, providing an even better reason to make a visit to Bondi and relax at Mackenzies Bay after a nice scenic walk.
