Fairlight Beach

By: Freya Daver



Fairlight Beach is a beautiful destination to enjoy a day on a hidden away, quiet beach, just off Manly. ITs a short walk from Manly Beach and Manly Wharf and captures the essence of nature with its fresh grainy sand, cool and crisp blue water, and rocks that surround the scenic beach. You can also enjoy a swim in the fabulous wave pool, or tan on the rocks above the sand. 


Access via: via Laneway off Fairlight Crescent / via Lane at Kay-Ye-My point

Facilities include: a tidal rock pool, toilets, parking, lighting, seating, water, and a coastal broad walk to enjoy. 

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.

Gordons Bay

By: Mitchelle Antonio

Gordons Bay is located north of Coogee Beach and is 11 km from Sydney's CBD.  This bay is secluded and yet one of the best places to go snorkeling in Sydney as it is well protected from waves which ultimately result in aqua blue crystal clear water and a calm beach.

 The bay's clear water, abundant native flora and its rocky terrain will make you feel like you've visited Italy's Cinque Terre.


Please note:
Gordon's bay can be difficult to access by car so it is best advisable to park your vehicles at the headland car park and walk down. On your walk down be sure to walk from one side to another in order to see the full beauty of the spot.
