    To be honest, I'm not sure what this beach is like right down on it, but from up above it sure looked lovely. I was with a friend who was have a practice at the Mosman Neutral Beach Rifle Range, and went to look out at the view from up there. I was amazed to see this lovely beach.

    Just one of the many activities you see people enjoying at Dolls Point. This particular day was incredibly windy, and these were the only people we saw out there, besides us ofcoarse.. and we stayed only a few minutes.. A few days later the winds become a big problem in the Sydney area, causing widespread damge and a fatality.

    The Beaches of Cronulla, North to South ... Wanda, Elouera, North Cronulla and Cronulla. This town sure is beautiful, and a holiday destination in it's own right. It gives the impression of being a lovely seaside resort, not huge by any means, and the beaches are suitable for many varied watersports, especially surfing and body boarding. I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to imagine a young 'Elle' sunbathing on these beaches.

    Cobbler's Beach
    by Freebeacher

    Cobbler's Beach is a legally designated nude beach on Middle Head which juts out into Sydney Harbour. It is a small beach. As it is on the harbour it is not a surf ocean beach like Werrong I described elsewhere. Middle Head is on the north side of the harbour close to the neighborhood of Mosman, a very well-to-do area. The crowd at Cobbler's is mostly males weekdays but weekends the beach can be absolutely packed with a mixed crowd of families, couples and single girls and guys. The sand fills quickly so get there early. A grassy area behind the beach can accomodate dozens of sunbathers. A visiting boat lands ashore in season and sells ice cream! It is a fun sight to see a queue of naked beachgoers with money in hand waiting their turn to buy something. Nude weddings have been held at Cobbler's! Getting there: By auto from the city go over the Sydney Harbour bridge and exit at Neutral Bay via Military Rd. (Rt. 14) Follow this to Spit Junction and continue on to Mosman Junction. Continue straight through and just after Raglan Rd. bear left onto Middle Head Rd. This turns into Chowder Bay Rd. After about 100 m. you will see HMAS Penguin navy facility on left and beyond it on left a parking area for Middle head sports oval. Walk across oval (or go around if a game on) and find trail down to beach. By bus take bus 244 from Wynyard Station in the city. When you get on ask driver if he is going to Middle Head oval. This route does not run on Sunday. On Sunday take route 227-Mosman Junction, or less good, 230 or 243-Spit Junction. These put you two or three km away from the oval but if you are in shape it is not bad to walk. Mosman has a grocers for picnic stuff for the beach (IGA) and heaps of trendy shops and cafes to visit after the beach and a very nice public library.

    Ferry between Crunulla and

    Little Jibbon Beach is an unofficial clothing-optional beach within the northern part of the Royal National Park. It is much closer to Sydney than Werrong Beach, described elsewhere. From Sydney it is reached by taking the train south to the beachside town of Cronulla. From the dock at Cronulla a ferry takes you across Port Hacking River to a village called Bundeena. From there a short walk past some expensive homes with million dollar views of the bay and city in the distance comes to Jibbon Beach. Walk along Jibbon Beach east until it ends and you see a walking track into the bush. Little Jibbon is unmarked-it is easy to walk past it but if you keep looking to the left side as you walk, toward the ocean, you will see a spot where the trail does down to the sand. It took me less than 10 minutes walk from leaving Jibbon to get there. When I was there there were two nude males and a nude couple from Massachusetts (where I was raised) who of all things know someone on Nantucket Island I know!!!!! What are the chances??!! No facilities of any kind. Bring ample water and food. No shade. Getting there: CityRail train (Illawarra Line) from Sydney Central station to Cronulla. Distance of 34 km. Return fare weekday is $8.80. Weekend, discounted "off peak" return fare is $5.40. Ferry from Cronulla to Bundeena is $4.80 single and leaves hourly. On hour from Bundeena, on the half hour from Cronulla. Last boat from Bundeena is 7:00 pm!

    This is a 30-minute walk over the cliffs. It is just so relaxing! You walk by the sea so the view is really nice. I've done this at night too, many people were walking their dogs and jogging. Bronte beach is my favourite! Small but beautiful. Not very crowded. There are shelters where you can have a picnic and electric grills that run with coins. It was really nice to see how many Australian families go there for a picnic during the week! Not just at the weekend.

    I think this is one of the nicest beaches in Sydney. It is relatively small and easily accessible from downtown, yet it is not nearly as touristy as Bondi. Come early in the morning and grab a cup of coffee or some brekkie at one of the nice cafes across the street and watch the gulls and the surfers. (Also - parking is a lot easier if you get there in the morning - otherwise I would recommend getting a bus). The swimming is great there - the beach is very clean, and they have lifeguards. If you want a pool, there is a clean, large, safe ocean pool on the south side. If you want some dry-land exercise, take the walk from Bronte to Bondi - it goes along the water and is very pretty.

    The view from our small unit. Good family beach. Also good for board riders. Whales have been known to enter the bay and frolic on their way south - around sept.
