Milk Beach Vaucluse

By: Maryam Mandehgari

With white sand and aqua water, this perfect little flat water cover for relaxing and swimming looks over pretty much the whole of Sydney, including the breathtaking harbour.  This small beach is a true miracle and secret that it has been so kept under wraps. Often described as one of Sydney's secret beaches, Milk Beach is a picturesque location situated in one of Sydney's Eastern suburbs, Vaucluse. 




On weekends you will find families picnicking (there is a small undercover awning for this purpose), walkers taking in the beach whilst completing the Hermitage Foreshore Walk. It is the perfect venue to sit back, relax, sunbathe and watch the seaplanes take off and land in nearby Rose Bay. Access to Milk Beach is somewhat limited, however, it can be accessed via Public Transport, boat or limited off-street parking is available.
