Beaches: Obelisk Beach

    Obelisk Beach is another legal nude beach on Sydney Harbour. Follow the same directions as for Cobbler's Beach but park either in the same lot or another lot closer to the trailhead to Obelisk-on the right side as you drive down the road to Middle Head oval. I've included a photo of the sign you will see. This beach is almost always guys only I am told. The day I stopped by I would guess there were 20 or so guys and one girl. Everyone was nude. A lot of small boats anchored just offshore.

    Beaches: Lady Bay Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lady Bay Beach (sometimes called Lady Jane Beach) is yet another legal nude beach on Sydney Harbour. It was officially designated a nudist beach in the 70's and is one of the first in Australia. This beach is on the south side of the harbour within a short walk of the trendy Watson's Bay with it's famous Doyle"s Seafood Restaurant. The day I visited, the crowd was more mixed than Obelisk (some Spanish backpacker girls were there) but less mixed than Cobbler's. 90% nude. This beach reminded me a little of Baker Beach in San Francisco not for the beach itself certainly, but for the harbor views and large ships coming and going to sea very close to the sand. The beach itself is disappointing, as there is very little sand and when big ships do go by at high tide, the waves wash up to the rocks. There are not many places to put down your towel that the sand is not damp. Access by bus from Bondi Junction to Watsons Bay. Then walk about 10-15 minutes through the national park walking track to South head. The stairs to Lady Jane will be seen on the left. I included the sign so you can find it easily. Multiple bus routes run to Bondi Junction from the city center. The Junction has a couple of large indoor shopping centers with food courts and a large Borders, the American bookseller. A perfect way to wrap up the afternoon apres beach. Sydney Buses: www.sydneybuses.nsw.gov.au Telephone: 131 500

    Take the ferry (30 mins) from Circular Quay to Manly Beach, stroll along the shore, enjoy a great meal of fish and chips, walk through the wormhole tunnel (see other tip) or go for a swim...

    Beaches: Enjoy the Ferry Ride to Manly
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many people like going to Bondi Beach when they are in Sydney. To do someth' different, I went to Manly. I was attracted by the description of the ferry ride in the Lonely Planet, it sounded like a scenic cruise... and now I can tell you, YES, it's indeed a spectacular ferry ride, you can see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge from another side as well as the lovely town of Manly! I took the return ferry at about 5.10p.m. and it's just right for see the sunset, lovely!!! Notes: 1. If you wanna enjoy the view, take Manly Ferry (the slow one) not others. It departs from Wharf 3 of Circular Quay every half an hour. The ride takes about 25 minutes. 2. Return ticket = AUD12 but a Day-tripper = AUD15, it's cheaper to buy the latter if you're travelling to other places as well.

    Beaches: Walk along Sydney's East Coast
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Coastal walkway at Cronulla stretches from Wanda Beach to Bass and Flinders Point. It can take up to 1.5 hours one way. It provides amazing views and photo opportunities along the way and is a really pleasant walk.

    Beaches: The Action

  • And this is where all the action was.. I guess the beach was a little more crowded on this day, than when I was there.

    Beaches: Almost Deserted..
  • Tip Rating:
  • As you can see, there were very few people here on this day, even though the temperature was hovering around 21cel. This is still way too cold for me, to go for a swim, but fantastic weather for walking around and taking in the sites..

  • Lovely hotels and apartments just across the park from the beach. A lovely place to relax, and watch the waves roll in.
